I was on the waiting list and purchased Pink Stripes the year it was released. I received a small plant like I would expect from a spider or UF, and it under performed for me from the start. I had it three years before it finally dwindled away and disappeared, I don't think I ever got more than three blooms off the entire plant on any given year and I only had one bloom it's first year. It was grown in an established raised bed in z6 Virginia. I will add that I don't mulch my beds so that may have been a factor. I wasn't a fan of it's size, form, or substance but I did like the color combination.
