| No Gwen they stay on for quite a white, the entire cluster opened before they started looking ratty.
Its only a young one Gwen so maybe its dropping its blooms to put energy into growing more. I bought that Plant one January and it did not flower till the following summer so I would not worry too much about it, maybe its different. | |
