While it really does have beautiful blooms, "Wedding Band" in my beds has proved to be a total "rust bucket" for two years in a row, far more susceptible to rust than the other cultivars around it. I have it in two different beds, one on the east side of the house, the other on the west side, and the plants are equally diseased. Right now the foliage is ugly and covered with heavy infestations of rust. I hate to even consider it, but it may have to be culled. The only good thing is that I'm finding which cultivars around them seem to be less susceptible!

Reviewing my photos, I believe the colors were more intense this year (2016) than their first year in the ground (2015). The first year it was very pretty, but this year it absolutely stood out in the flowerbeds, so much that I ended up ordering additional fans.
