  • Posted by EdBurton (East Central Wisconsin - Zone 5a) on Jul 29, 2014 2:12 PM concerning plant:
    I bought The Goldilocks Effect in the summer of 2013.
    The first time I saw it in bloom is this summer 2014, and by far it is one of the best looking polychromes I have ever seen.
    Size is huge, flowers open wide with flawless blooms, seems to be an easy pod setter, branching and bud count are good and I expect it to only get better as plant grows to clump size, and it grows in the frozen tundra of NE Wisconsin!
    How sweet is that?
    I have been spreading the pollen on everything, this plant is on the grow forever list for me.
    Highly recommended.
    Ed Burton
