Thankyou Robin. My early bloomer is Eleanor Roosevelt. I was given a few rhizomes some years ago, unnamed. It looks like ER, and has been IDed on line as that. It multiplies faster than anything else and I have it growing in several places as well as giving away heaps of new rhizomes.
I used to go to Barry Blyth's farm every year, I loved it. We live fairly close to them and it's sad that they've closed to the public now.
30 days to the first day of Spring here!!! YAY!!!
