Deep Waters is in it's third (or 4th.) year here in USDA Zone 7a/b. It is reliable and should do well in Zone 6 as well since it is in a 5 gallon pot here. It's two best properties is scape height that reaches sky scaper length, and flower color clarity. It produces seed pretty well, but does make a few blind pods when the weather gets HOT. The substance is fairly heavy, so the scapes do need support when there are more than three flowers open on a scape. I will be keeping this for a long time.
