Not sure, I didn't keep the tag that came with it like I usually do, I had to look it up. From the images I found, it sure looks like it. It's now got about 2 dozen blooms and counting. Here's how I brought it back to life. I'm only a beginning gardener and I mostly garden by "the seat of my pants", although I'm not averse to doing research and buying books. I took it out of the ground where it wasn't doing well and getting attacked by a vole. I put it in the cedar planter which had potting soil. Sometime later, I read that potting soil isn't real soil and has no nutrients, so I scooped out about half the potting soil and added premium soil amendment with 15% chicken manure, added the companion ornamental onion, and started fertilizing it once a week.
