Geneva Firetruck is fertile both ways and passes on some lovely traits to it's seedlings. Here are a few Geneva Firetruck kids in my garden.

Yes, I have it here. Have to go out and check on it. Is it a late bloomer?

I've only just planted this variety this spring. So far no bloom and growth has been moderate. I'm going to have to wait to pass judgment. It was a single fan so it may not be well enough established to bloom yet. I Have to admit it was the variety I was most eagerly anticipating amongst my new additions. Crossing Fingers!

I bought Geneva Firetruck in 2017. It bloomed for the first time for me this year (2018). It had several flowers and I am happy with this plant. It should really take off next year after it has settled in.

I purchased this plant back on Sept. 28 2016. I received these two small fans: It looks like one fan but it had to be two because two months later I have a photo showing how the two fans had grown.

This year it started blooming in the early spring and now has formed a nice clump.

So the plant has done well, not my favorite looking bloom, but I do like the overall performance of the plant. It does rebloom for me and is reblooming now.

It has multiplied like a rabbit, the edges on this bloom have been beautiful! No doubt one of my favorites and I can count on it to produce one beautiful bloom after another and it has rebloomwed pevery year.

Slow to increase for me. The scrapes are very short, blooms often are below the foliage.

Will - You lucked out and got 3 acorns from me because the system was running slow at my end and it didn't look like you received any from me. Enjoy! You got 2 bonus acorns. Whistling Hilarious! Thumbs up
