Just Fabulous has been here for several years now. It is not located in a great spot, but it does get morning sun. It is indeed a stunning flower that the rain just beads off of. Always a joy to see this one blooming.
I had Just Fabulous for a few years, and it wasn't very happy here. I kept waiting and was saying
"maybe next year". I did get some pods with it, and I liked the very dark eye, but ultimately replaced it.
I picked up JF from Greywood Farm in the Spring of 2022. This summer ( 2022) it gave me a small taste of the lovely bloom. July 16-20, I saw three flowers. They are just fabulous, truth in advertising! If JF grows for Darlyn Wilkinson, I assume it will grow here too, 20 minutes away. Only time will tell! It did end the season with 6 fans and a light case of rust, but much better than many cvs right next to it.
