Seeing Becky's posts reminds me to post on some of the same ones I grow. 'Lavender Stardust' has had some rust, but has performed pretty well. I did have blooms down in the foliage at one point, but then on rebloom later the scapes were taller and the blooms were up over the foliage.
Blooms were down in the foliage here.
Here the blooms were up higher:
Even today, no blooms but you can see a seedpod (bees) and you can see it still has buds up high that should still bloom.
The plant foliage is not perfect but for this time of year it still looks very presentable I think.
