    Customer Reviews

    Overall rating: 2.3 / 5 from 4 reviews.

    A few weeks after they bloomed this spring, all of the healthy looking green leaves simply fell off the stems in about a day or two! I have a security cam that looks right at the plant. I didn't see any insect or animal near it. I watched them simply fall to the ground. Now all the flowers are spent and it is simply stems, with no leaves! What happened? It was during a warm stretch that got to the middle 80s, but I thought they were supposed to be tolerant plants. They are even in partial shade.
