You grow 'Bedazzled' well! It is a seedling of 'Lavender and Old Lace' and it with 'Risque' were the two that I saved out of ~100 from that group. They were both better than mom.
The center rosette is blooming so you can do some crosses with it. It should give good seedlings.
I wouldn't do that cross as 'Purple Passion' is not too colorfast. Most of your seedlings will fade too. No wants to look at faded rosettes! I would cross it to your colorfast purples and reds. That should give much better results. The other direction I would use it is with cobwebs as it would be cool to have a strong lavender cobweb. You can name the best seedling as 'Kevin's Great Advice'!!
Do those sound like possibilities Julia?
Kevin
