Wild and Free is one of THE best performers in my garden despite on the west side of the house, being under trees, with rampant moles and quite a bit of afternoon shade. No telling what it would do with good care (i.e., fertilizer
). An E-M bloomer [around May 17] for me, it laughed off the -6F Big Freeze of 2021 with 10" bloom and 37" scapes. Normally flowers are a bit smaller and scapes a bit shorter. I have never seen a rebloom here and fan increase is moderate with the original DF now up to 8. Doesn't rust here with our normal freezes in winter. This cultivar is hard to beat if you like big tall UFs
