Rock Candy does very good here definately pumps out the blooms for a extended period, and gets to the registered height. I have it where it gets afternoon shade which helps it hold its color better.
I planted Rock Candy in the Spring of 2021. It didn't do anything that year. This year, although it remains at 2 fans, it bloomed from June 29- July 24 with at least 25 flowers. That's a good show for 2 fans , on a very hot and dry summer! Although initially blotchy, the blooms evened out and became a pretty purple bagel with a dark eye and a dark picotee border.
2023 update…Rock Candy bloomed from June 28- July 19, with at least 19 blooms. By October, it had grown three new fans to more than double its previous size, ending at five fans. I expect to get a really good show next year!
