This one has been in my garden for 5 growing seasons. It took 3 seasons to settle in and give decent blooms as do many in my northern garden. The bud count here is about 14 on 4 way branching on the best scapes. It has reached 33 inches and has increased to about 10 fans from 2 in these 5 years. I don't see much sculpting though. This was the best year for it here will several blooms open at the same time.
