    Popeye the Sailor, normally an early blooming evergreen, turned very brown with this year's late freeze (4-5 weeks ago, Tx zn7) I was thinking I would have to wait for a rebloom later, but..what a COMEBACK!! Popeye is a strong one and a great multiplier. Usually reblooms for me late August, too.
