I agree with everyone....this one is a favorite. Received it in 2009 from a DG trade. It came to Indiana from Texas. It had done well and and had increased but was not outstanding. 2 years ago I moved it to a spot where it gets more sun and it has really improved. I saw an increase in the number of fans, number of scapes and number of blooms. It is now where I can see it from the front window which is nice too.
It sets pods very easily here and I do not dab pollen! Height is probably close to 30 inches tall here. Blooms are held nicely above the foliage on strong scapes. I get no rebloom here. I tried to keep it well watered this summer in hopes that maybe I would, but no luck. I went back and checked photos for this year. I see It started blooming on June 26 and had its last bloom on August 25! So 2 months of blooms here in zone 5b. I would say that is outstanding performance!
Mine is going dormant but there is still a good bit of green foliage as of today.
Last Bloom 8/25/15
