'Magnificent Rainbow' has been growing here in central Ohio for about 15 years or so. It has grown and flowered well every year. It's a nice clump about 30" across that can't expand because it's surrounded, lol. It is growing in our bottomland silt loam and has not been fertilized nor watered since it was planted. It flowers well every year. The branching and number of buds are not as large as they would be if it received some pampering. It was better the first 3-5 years after planting before it became so crowded. Still, it produces a nice crop of scapes every year and holds the flowers nicely just above the foliage.
I like the colors, eye patterning, and form of the flowers very much. Although registered as lavender, the colors here are closer to a pink background as seen in this photo by

I recommend it if the flowers appeal to you too!
