Dear Jude, I find the 'yellow' form a weaker growing plant, but it does bloom reliably. The only difficulty is that the animals devour both it and the other colored forms just as soon as the blooms are almost fully open. There's frustration around here!

He lost some seedlings, and I could never get the seeds to grow (My pinks, and Rosalbas come up like weeds, under identical conditions.) I am wondering if this is a common issue people have with the yellow ones for some reason? Or are these just two isolated "bad luck" incidents? Curious to see what others have to say. Jude
