    'Merry Morgan' (Bunting 2008) is noted as being polymerous (99%) and single form. In reality, it doubles in form (nearly 99%), but does not poly with any consistency. I think I have seen two or maybe three poly blooms on it in the five years I have had it.

    If you appreciate it for its double (not single) form, then I would say that it is reliably hardy in northern gardens. If your interest is for its ability to produce polymerous blooms, then I would say there are many better options to choose among.
