@Txbutterfly :
me neither; I just think our heat is too much for them, even if they claim to be 'acclimated' ones. I had huge, gorgeous bushes on either side of our porch, at our house in PA. Pink, blue, white; a gorgeous mix. The bushes were about 50 years old, and there were many, up and down that block. So pretty. My neighbor told me to pour pickle juice at the base of the bushes, as it helped them create more vivid colors,and it worked!
