South Sioux City, NE | September 2012 | positive

It is bit smaller flower, but has lots of blooms for quite awhile. It is a dependable bloomer in Ne.

Colors are so rich and velvet-like that photos don't do it justice, but I concur with Margiempv that it increases slowly

It hasn't been that great of a grower for me - but it has a nice combination of colors.
