    This is a reliably blooming cultivar in my yard, with LOTS of buds that bloom across several weeks. It's extremely dark, but pictures have a hard time capturing its true color. It is nearly black but most photos make it look red. Its throat is green and its bloom is about an average size. Its first year (last year) it had canoe-shaped petals (and splotches?) the first week after planting, but then it improved. This year I don't recall any issue with any of the blooms. It's sunfast (in all-day sun in my yard), and it has nice, thick scapes, good petal substance (kind of waxy or velvety, depending on the weather, it seems), and lots of blooms. It's a keeper.

    First couple of flowers that open each season are usually a mess with bad form and color saturation, but each flower that opens after seems to get better and better. VERY dark red...I've had a few people think it was truly black from a distance.
