Mister Lucky bloomed this year from 6/11 to 7/1 in my zone 6b garden and even put up a rebloom scape for the first time since I have had it that I can remember. I love the scape height (24") to bloom size (4") ratio and the fact that it blooms above the foliage. A big plus for me!
I purchased a double fan of ML in 2008 for $6. I divided it in 2014 and I know it increased well over the last 7 years because I have given away several starts of it and still have at least 15 fans left.
Some scapes have nicely spaced 3-way branching. Just looking at pictures from years past, bud count seems low, maybe only around 8-10 buds, but as you can see in the picture below, it makes a nice bouquet.
Rust resistance seems to be very good. Looking at pictures from the past 7 years, it does not appear to have much, if any.
pic from 2015 after dividing in 2014. ML is one of those colors that I have a difficult time capturing the true color on.
Mister Lucky will always have a place in my garden.
