Very nice! Mine didn't be come up this year after a good show last summer. They are perennials, right? Any tips?

I lost 1 of 3 plants this year. They were planted last year as tiny plugs. I'm not sure what happened other then I think I stepped right on one early this spring. I do know they like it really dry and well drained. If you are sitting on clay or wet soil, the root will rot and not come back.
