I have had Wilson Spider since 2003. It blooms more mid to late in my garden but perhaps because I have it in partial shade, and too near my blue spruce tree. That has taken a lot from this plant and for the past 3 years it has not bloomed as well as it could. I really need to move this plant to a sunnier location and then I believe it would perform much better. It's scape height is listed as 28" but in my garden it may be only about 25". It is both pod and pollen fertile and I have gotten some nice seedlings from it. It increases fairly well despite the fact that it doesn't get much sun in my garden. I definitely will keep this one.
