Jen Melon Performs great here, is taller than it's registered height. It has been a favorite of ours for years.

Thumb of 2020-10-31/HemNorth/1489eb This is one of my favourite yellows. Such good substance and performance.

I had Jen Melon for years, it always did well and I loved the look of the large blooms. One year it bloomed and bloomed, did so well, but disappeared shortly after it finished blooming. Almost like it burned itself out. I have often thought about replacing it.
