I grew this one for a time, it was a good increaser for me, the blooms take 2 days to fully open though so that is why I ended up parting w it after a few years. Having the bloom partially opened, caused dew to go down into the petals over the night and it streaked/splotched the colors, if you live in an area that doesn't have alot of humidity (dew) it may not be an issue for you. It also allowed bugs into the bloom and it had more damage due to my cucumber beetles, than the dl that open in just one day. The shape of the bloom is nice/different, the color was too pale/pastel for me as I generally like brighter colors for dl, it did get tall for me.
