    This has been a lovely plant for me. Meggie's Smile has increased well and reliably produced big bright beautiful blooms. It has produced good pollen and several seed pods for me. It is an early-season bloomer and I find I wish it bloomed longer through the season, but I do enjoy it while it lasts. It is a bit on the short side, but it makes a perfect front of the border plant in my garden.
