Hemlady said:I always looked forward to Ed Brown blooming. I had it for a number of years and then decided to send it south as it struggled to increase in my climate. Like mentioned, it is very fertile and I do have a few seedlings from it that I kept as bridge plants to hybridize with.

From the seeds Hemlady sent me last year, I germinated and planted out 5 seedlings of the cross (Critic's Choice x Ed Brown) x Prickled Petals. I am anxious to see how they came through the winter, but they are still under quite a bit of snow.
Update:
All five seedlings survived the 2016-17 winter and thrived during the 2017 growing season. My journal comments are 'seedlings large and strong'.
