    Early and Often is one of the Huben introductions that is supposed to bloom and rebloom. Again, not happening in my garden as is so often the case. The flowers are okay, but nothing to get excited about.

    An early season bloomer every year. It reblooms for me here, but I can't say that I get particularly excited about this plant. I'm not a big fan of pastels, but I do use it for hybridizing because I like its reblooming characteristic, and it is very hardy and multiplies decently well. It sets pods readily, but I don't use its pollen often, so I can't comment much on its pollen fertility. A keeper in my garden, but it isn't one of my favorites.
