I received this plant from Claudia here on NGA, back in Sept. 2015. It grew and multiplied and bloomed in 2016. I dug it up and moved it in Jan. 2017 to a new location. It bloomed and bloomed for me in 2017 and again in 2018. Somewhere along the way, I divided the plant again, because I have two separate clumps in separate locations, but failed to make a note of it. So for me it is doing good and multiplying, but I am not getting anywhere near the registered bud count and branching count so far. As it is right now, I will keep the plant, it does well enough to make it a keeper in my garden even if it does not ever reach the stats it is registered with.
It has started blooming in early May the past two years that I have had it.
The first bloom this year on 05/08/2018
Here it is on 05-20-2018
Here it is on 07-26-18
Here it is again on 08/04 /2018 with my hybridizer markers on it.
This year the scapes were all across the board in height, short ones and tall ones. The tall ones with several blooms tended to lean some, and when wet would lean a lot. Hope the scapes get stronger next year. It was common to have three or four blooms a day.
