This morning Scottish Fantasy was not blooming, so I pulled the 17 dead scapes from the plant. The scapes only averaged 24 inches in height, with 2 way branching and only 8 buds per scape. This plant tends to get rusty during the season. The good part is that it now has 10 rebloom scapes showing on it. No bloom to measure on it, but they have been a little smaller this year than in previous years and not as showy for some reason. Maybe the rebloom scapes on it now will produce some larger blooms.
Clump this morning with rebloom scapes.
Bloom from earlier date:The blooms seem to have gotten progressively paler for the past three years.
