A large, showy bloom that never fails to attract attention in the garden. Even though 25 years old, this cultivar is still sought after. Perhaps this evergreen reaches registered height farther south, but here it is always below 30, and both height and bud count can vary with the prior winter/spring. Usually ample bud count (6-10) for this area. Generally reliable. Aaron Brown and Painted Demon are notable progeny here.
