Planet Max arrived here in late May of 2014. It has done wonderfully well. The scapes must be at least 36 inches, maybe a little more. I don't care if they reach the listed 42 inches, I am satisfied the way they are. The plant has multiplied well, and the flowers are usually good, get an occasional meltdown when the weather is really hot. I love that color and the white streak on the midrib, if that's the correct term. PMax will definitely be around here for quite some time. I was checking out the pictures on the Plant Database and I see I have not posted a pic of Planet Max--must make a note to do that next year.
