Although listed by the hybridizer at 20-25 buds, this beauty is consistently one of the most covered in buds flowers we grow. Grows a little shorter than the listed 25". Very round, perfectly formed blooms always open well. Tough pod, decent pollen fertility. Flowers are more ruffled than the above picture. Very good clear/deep saturated color. Dormant, has been VERY winter hardy for us with very good increase. Reblooms in our zone 7 garden.
