    The color in my photo is not representative of this flower. Posted to show the branching and budding typical of this plant. Bud count is between 40 to 50. Fabulous color in this flower.

    A favorite! Great branching and lots of well-spaced blooms. Lovely purple color for the late season. Pod and pollen fertile.

    Although I just got Hakuna Matata this July, I bought it specifically because it was just getting ready to bloom in mid-July in zone 6 and had LOTS of buds and great branching. Its scapes are more than capable to support the 50" height. Tried to use pollen from HM on Fairy Tale Pink, Raspberry Wine, and Big Kiss, but none of them took. Also tried to set pod on HM with pollen from Raspberry Wine, but that didn't work either. Will definitely try again next year.

    Give it another try, I have found that HM is easily pod fertile, but I'm not sure if I've used its pollen.

    I loaded it up with pods using "Embroidery Stitching" and "Great Auntie Picklebottom" this past summer.

    I ordered this from Gary Schaben after seeing it as a seedling in his garden at the 2007 National Convention.
