    I've grown Lady Neva for 3 seasons now and have never had it rebloom in my PNW Zone 8 garden.
  • Posted by blue23rose (southern Indiana - Zone 6b) on Nov 7, 2012 8:14 PM concerning plant:
    Lady Neva reached over 4 feet for me in 2011. It also blooms late for me (zone 6) even though it is registered as an Early-Mid season bloomer.
  • Posted by kimkats (Md - Zone 6a) on Oct 31, 2011 6:16 PM concerning plant:
    This plant is registered as an Early- midseason bloomer, however it blooms mid-late for me in my zone 6 garden. I have set pods on this but have not tried pollen. I have never seen it rebloom for me.
