Clusiana, In USDA zone 9b in 2014, it bloomed in early April, and in 2015, mid-April (E-M to Mid). I measured it's maiden bloom in 2014 at 38" (tallest bloom, not an average), and didn't get around to measuring last year. In my garden, I've found many that do not measure up to their registered height. The rest of the description seems to fit with mine. The one outstanding feature to me is it's stately elegance. It looks like an arrangement of flowers. I never did get a picture of it that I felt did the form justice. It's very elegant.
