Like all of this color---still----not without its foibles. Measured against its qute modern peer, Barbra Streisand, I would say Neptune is the better, healthier, easier bet. The plant looks fat and thick and tough and more or less is (for the color). Loves to cluster bloom. Fragrance is amazing. Reads like an improved Sterling Silver all around in my opinion. And also in my opinion, the 2 BEST of this color? 50 years old: SILVER STAR and LADY X. Only issue is that they have no fragrance but very much in my experience the 2 most healthy, solid "mauves." Paradise (also fragrance free) is a winner but is less healthy. Angel Face may be the most unqiue of them all but is an ugly plant and very tender to cold.........Lagerfeld is more important as a parent and Fragrant Plum is GOOD.........this color has come very far in some ways, really hasn't evolved past 1966 in many others..........and for anyone who LOVES this color? You absolutely must grow Sterling Silver. You just need to "meet" it...........legendary, and not as awful as many say.............
