I had Fast Forward planted in the ground where it was clay soil, it didn't do much, so last year, I moved it to my raised garden. It did really well there and bloomed good for me this year. I was so happy to see it. So many of the intermediates won't bloom well here, not enough winter to make them happy. Bloom is going to be sparse this year, especially with the talls, not many stalks at all.
