River Merle describes it as an early bloomer with plants absolutely loaded with 3–4 inch flowers, and they specifically call out its unusually good vase life. On a plant that stays around 3.5 feet tall, that's a pretty compelling package for both the garden and the cutting patch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd I really like that bloom size.
