All of the plants that I got from Maryott's showed rust. I ordered BRIGHT IN THE NIGHT, MINERAL SPRINGS, and SAILING AT DAWN..they sent KAANAPALI COAST and SIGN LANGUAGE as bonus plants. I received the orders in July and pot planted them for a few weeks, then transplanted to a small bed in my back yard. The rust started with Mineral Springs and quickly spread to most of the cultivars in that particular bed.
Mineral Springs and Bright in the Night bloomed within a few weeks. I love love love the blooms on both, but it was disappointing to see rust show up, as I had never had it before. I'm hoping the winter freezing temps will rid my garden of the rust. I do plan to keep the cultivars to see how they do next spring , but they look awful right about now.
