I planted Jessica Lynn Bell this fall. She settled in well and appeared to be one a few plants that settled in and put up new fans. I will have more information this next spring. ...

I had to go double check the fan count- with a flashlight : ) JLB has five fans, mostly protected by mulch, planted on the south side of the house and protected from wind on three sides. They show some green (awfully tender looking) new growth- evergreen tendencies shining through.

Pretty flower,but seems to be tender here in zone 6.

I planted this in June 2021, purchased from Tim Bell. I only got three flowers from her but now I'm worried that might be all I'll ever see if she is too tender to withstand a Boston winter. Well, we'll see.

2022 update. JLB came through with flying colors. She grew from 3 fans to 5 over the summer. Additionally, she had a nice bloom season from June 30- July 23 with at least 20 flowers. And what lovely flowers! Huge, ruffled, cream with a luscious peach eye and edge, each one looks good enough to eat. I sure hope this cv keeps doing well here!

2023 update…still doing very well, but down to 4 fans this season. Jessica Lynn Bell flowered from July 6- August 12, with at least 24 blooms. She is currently sending up a rebloom scape in November…sorry, sweetie! Chances are good it won't get a bloom in.

2024 update

JLB kept her 4 fans over the winter and bloomed from June 26- August 14 with at least 44 flowers. So far this has been one of the most successful Tim Bell plants in my garden. She really is so pretty!

A very fetching flower, and the first few seasons I thought it would do well here, but it eventually succumbed. Such is the fate of many evergreens--initially deceiving, but climate eventually winnows them.
