BLACK HANDLEBARS has been only a fair performer here in zone 6. It is wimpy and a slow increaser

Huge 9.5" bloom. Grown in TX. Moved fall 2020 to improve performance. 1st year [2021] in new location was not great for bud count/scape height after the Big Freeze of Feb 2021
Hoping for better in 2022
