Darla Anita was planted last year, bloomed last year so this is the second season for it here. It had two way branching with 8 bud count here so far. The scape height is more like 20 inches and the bloom about 5.5 inches. It does open well but it is very late here. The last bloom faded just last week. It has increased rather quickly now being 5 fans from 2 a year ago. Being evergreen, I doubt it will ever reach the stats in my northern garden. There are other yellow ruffled pink bloom cultivars that are more successful here. This is not a keeper for me although I will give it one more season to see if there is an improvement.
