I planted this in 2004. It bloomed for about 4 weeks and then the blooms died out. I think it is still alive, but it doesn't have any leaves on it. Hopefully it will begin to put out leaves soon as the weather warms up. I think the hostas I planted below them died. There is no sign of them at all. I will try to be patient to see if this pretty little plant comes back to life this year.
