I fell in love with Diamond Frost from the moment I laid eyes on it. I purchased two small plants and put them in a hanging basket with Double Impatiens. When I first planted them they looked a little puny, but you should see them now. The two Diamond Frost have spread to about three feet and look beautiful with the impatiens. I'll definitely do this again next summer. Thanks for a great plant! Shirley, KY
