The one I bought 2 years ago didn't bloom the second year but at least is still alive. I love the red roses, they don't seem to bloom as much as the white ones. I hope your snapdragons bloom.

I use soaker hoses and cover them with grass clipping mulch to keep the water from evaporating as fast. So I have to drag hoses to connect to soaker hoses and I don't water grass.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-67957195429385651902015-07-15T22:10:02.070-07:002015-07-15T22:10:02.070-07:00Lots of warm colors in your garden this bloom day!...Lots of warm colors in your garden this bloom day!

We don't water our lawn, it is adapted to the wet and dry seasons.

With the world population growing like it is, there will be less water for us to use on lawns and gardens.
