I am so happy when I can give an unequivocal thumbs up to a plant…this one really deserves it!

I received 4 fans of Rich in Mercy from Laura ( TwixnDud) in October of 2021. It bloomed the following year from July 11-August 8 with 15 flowers counted. I'm sure I missed some while I was away. Then it rebloomed from October 12- November 17th with 10 more flowers. RIM was my final flower in 2022. It ended the season with 7 fans.

This year, RIM bloomed from July 14- August 20 with at least 45 blooms. There was no rebloom this year but it put on another fan to end with 8.

This flower is not only a strong grower and bloomer, but the flowers themselves are beautiful. A vibrant violet with a lavender watermark and sparkly white picotee edge surround the green throat. It looks like a flower that would only pop out a few but then surprises you with cascades of them.

I'd say this is probably the most successful Emmerich plant in my garden so far.

I've has Rich in Mercy for at least 12 years. It's medium for multiplying; flowers are long lasting and rich. My bloom time is similar to Zoia's. It's an Emmerick classis beauty!!

I got this beauty from Louise Alley in 2015 and love it! For me, it is a great grower with strong scapes. Flowers are rich and vibrant in color and open well. Some years I get rebloom.

Love what you teach and teach what you love!
