This is an older CV but a good garden plant. The bi-tone is striking and stands out in the garden. I have grown it for 2 seasons. Here, it reached 30" inches, just shy of the registered height and had a bud count of 16 with 4 way branching, really good for a 2 year old CV. It blooms into August giving a lengthy bloom period. It is not one of those that takes a long time to settle in. I recommend this plant for the north
