I was the lucky recipient of Raven's generosity of this cultivar. It bloomed the first season in my garden and it is beautiful. This evergreen came through our harsh winter just fine. I will check and see the number of fans it has this season and report back on that. The plant was very vigorous last summer, so I felt confident enough to set a pod on it and planted four seedlings from the cross this spring. It is a wonderful addition to the garden.
