I bought two tubers and both had three shoots starting soon after arrival. They took a little bit to pop up after planting but after a slow start they took off. They are beautiful but like a another reviewer stated they look very Gothic next to some of my other flowers. I will be putting them in a differnt location next year. Although they are very pretty the actual color is very deep, almost a burgundy and much more saturated that shown. The single photo on the website is not accurate in my opinion. Only a few of my blooms have had petals that faded to the light color shown and only at the very end of their life.
