'Early Bonfire' was a featured
Plant of the Day for December 1, 2017.
| Posted by ILPARW (southeast Pennsylvania - Zone 6b) on Jun 28, 2020 10:50 AM I found this cultivar listed in my old Ball Seed catalog of 1976 as being a popular selection in the 1970's that grew about 24 inches high and had a good even, bushy habit. I know that I've seen it sold in decades after that. [ Reply to this comment | |
