This is a nice plant for the garden. So bright and multiplies very well. It draws attention to itself. I will always keep this one.

Opens well after a cool morning, making it a good cultivar for the PNW or other cooler regions.

I loved the blooms on this one--big and bright, with excellent substance. Unfortunately, it was very susceptible to rust here in zone 8b, so I had to get rid of it.
