Hi
Sure looks like it's doing fine!! my experience with the beardeds was 1st year flowered ,second year less and by the 3 rd year they croakedl Even summered some in the fridge lol About all I grow now are the tropicals
Whatever you're doing keep it up!! lol gary

I had the same experience as you Gary. They just disappear after the third year. Maybe it is cold enough there to winter over. I thought the nematodes got to mine.

I always blamed it on lack of a cold rest period Those I summered in the fridge did much bettter than those left alone. I brought my originals from my daughters house in Kansas where it ranged from 105 to -15 degrees over the year lol Hers are still growing and flowering
Have heard the twice flowering tall beardeds are much more heat tolerant but have never tried them .
The tropicals are so easy I just quit though the tall bearded are a much prettier flower . gary
