I haven't done the bud count yet, but I know it isn't one of the new super breed with like 50 buds. It is one of the good old wild (?) cultivars that make a dependable clump of lovely color and grows well year after year. I have had mine for years and have just started to separate it and move it around. My original clump is huge, and there are always many flowers, but not because each scape has a huge bud count.
