I planted a double-fan of Carnival in Mexico this spring and it now has 4 fans so good increase in first year. Foliage very good quality. It did bloom but did not rebloom-- did not really expect it to year 1. Curious to see if it will rebloom here in the north in future years.
The color of the nice large blooms is fantastic. Really stands-out. I have it next to a daylily with neon-orange blooms with a dark orange eye (Vitamin C) and feel that is a pretty good combination. I can already see why this one is a Stout medal winner-- I love it!
