I obtained this plant in the spring of 2016. It bloomed the first week of July that year. Last year it bloomed around the 23rd of July. This year we were back to the first week of July. So I guess that I will see what next year brings before deciding when I should be seeing blooms.
I am disappointed in the last of height of the scapes. They are coming in at low 20's instead of the registered 30 inches. For such a large flower, it get lost and hung up in the greenery.
