'Elegant Candy' was a good one for me in zone 7A! I got it on 4/1, and the first scape appeared 6/16 with the bloom following on 7/3. The bloom size was as predicted, about 4.25 inches, but the height didn't match the predicted 25". Because it was a teensy thing when it came on 4/1, that didn't surprise me. I bet it will make that next year. It was just one fan, and I had only 6 blooms, but that wasn't a surprise either. I think 'Elegant Candy' will be an excellent bloomer next year.
