Planted in zone 5 along a path. Now after its second full winter (was planted 5/16, so technically it's third summer) it has really taken off, after little growth the first two years. Full clusters of lollipop-tangerine colored flowers, somewhat old fashioned looking. I was hoping for the more flat-topped "austin" look that many of he pictures, but each petal here has a tip/point. I get a lot of compliments about her! The color is unique, and mine are darker a vivid "coral" but very "pigmented" looking, not pastel at all. Might lose a few of the bottom leaves to BS but overall thriving with no fungicides.

Ordered from Edmunds 3/2017

5/21/2017- Seems pretty vigorous. Still in a pot, but growing well and blooming already.

4/30/2018- Nice little flowers, but sort of an odd shocking color that doesn't mesh well with it's neighbors. Oh well.

4/19/2021- Didn't survive winter
