This is an outstanding vigorous plant. I used it in both a hanging basket and container. It is mid September here in southern Ontario and this plant is still going strong.

I grew these last year. I liked them so well I went on the search and got 14 more for this year. They aren't as aggressive as Bubblegums which is what I wanted. LOVE, love, love them!!

I grew Lovie Dovie for the first time this year. I bought four plants and put two each into two 12" hanging pots in a sunny area. They grew rapidly and soon were cascading down the sides of the pots. I have made sure to keep them watered and I fertilize weekly. They have a very attractive growth habit and are constantly covered with blooms. We are halfway into September now and had our first frost last night, but they still look very good. I am very pleased with them.
