I have had AWESOME CANDY for five years and I think it does not like the subtropics and the heat. Last year I moved it (my magical solution to the problem of struggling cultivars) but it performed worse. Sadly, it is also susceptible to rust. However, when all is going well with it, the blooms together are trim and fetching and limn against the green foliage.
Here, it flowers usually in the second month of spring but in two of the years it was two months early or late. It is both pollen and pod fertile and reblooms.
