I have had this cv since '16 so I have really only seen it blooming for one season. Considering that, it has been amazing settling in quickly, producing consistently perfect blooms always in this color, a bud count of 14 on 3 way branching . It has already reached the 18" height here with the just under 3" bloom. It is one of the first to bloom here. I expect bud count to increase with maturity. This one is a keeper.
