In MN they are usually available early spring with bright colored flowers and ratting looking leaves. (Those leaves are bright green but tender & so easily torn so just trim the ratty looking ones off ). I used to buy one or two occasionally and throw them away when they seem to be done blooming. One year I tucked a plant in among the edge of one of my hosta beds in part shade and was rewarded each spring with a spot of bright color and it spread a bit so was lovely!
While in AZ I just can't resist their happy faces since I've learned they will keep on blooming for a few months! I just need to keep them out of direct sun and water them often! Here I find two size plants and often purchased some of each size!
