ShawnSteve On June 12, 2022 Bloomed
Had hoped to cross pollinate with 'Fiona Coghill', (which took awhile, to ever get growing this Spring.) Although possibly may cross it with 'Double Angel,' instead.
ShawnSteve On June 30, 2019 Bloomed
Just a couple of flowers & unfortunately, mostly chewed up, by a small inch worm, of some sort.
dnrevel On June 17, 2021 Transplanted
Transplanted into front gardens. Plants were winter sown successfully, pricked out and transferred into small pots, then transplanted into garden space.
