It's blooming here in Tewksbury, too! I just noticed it when I got home from work.

The Rutger's garden has an outstanding collection and they too are in bloom. What an amazing and versatile plant.

Hi, Kirk.
Where is the Rutger's garden?

I wish it wasn't so cold today. I would love to check out Rutgers.

I planted Jelena in Fall 02. It starts blooming in early Jan and continues until mid-March. Unfortunately, last Fall a large branch fell and broke off a major branch. So sad. The plant is relatively small and spreading.
