    Green Rainbow has a smaller flower, but it packs a big punch. The coloring and pattern are so unusual. There is nothing else like it, at least not in my garden!
  • Posted by IAgrl (Cedar Rapids, Iowa - Zone 5a) on Jul 18, 2023 4:38 PM concerning plant:
    Great rebloomer and has an extended bloom. Second day the bloom is still holding form, although a bit faded slightly wrinkled. I don't deadhead until day three.
    Multiplies well and hardy in northern climates.
