Posted by Joy (Kalama, Wa. - Zone 8b) on Dec 3, 2011 4:44 PM concerning plant:

Small growing plant. Plant in part shade to retain color. In continuous bloom from mid June through early August with many blossoms open at once. No spotting or discoloring detected in rainy weather. Very good parent for vigor, heavy-blooming habits and color. Very fertile pod parent.
