I agree with Cinta. I thought that I had one, but maybe I don't. I had a beautiful double that was darker than SB at one time. I think someone dug it up and stole it. It just vanished one late winter/early spring after I cleared the area of debris and added some fertilizer. They left a tiny piece of root, which I should have potted up to keep an eye one it, but I was so ticked off at the time.

Kabby, remember to plant the root very shallowly. We don't get very cold and they need to be exposed to the cold air/ground temps, in order to bloom. That's why I clear away all mulch, leaves, etc., when I see evidence of growth. I have one Festiva Maxima that get's very tall. It's not very full like the double pink that I used to have. But the blooms are awesome. I need to find a picture. In fact, I need to take and post more photos. I love looking at everyone else's. Watch out Cinta, there are all kinds of enablers on this forum. You'll want to try growing this, and then that, and then something else. It's never ending. Lovey dubby
