OC has been growing here for 4 years so now considered a mature plant. It does increase moderately. It is a late bloomer with a long season--July 29 til Sep 10 here in 2017. There were a lot of scapes each with a bud count of 17 with 4 way branching on average so it certainly puts on a show. The scapes are strong enough to hold up the blooms. It is nice to have this color late in the growing season.
