JUDGE'S OBSERVATIONS
- “Vigorous and healthy overall should be used more often in mass plantings in sun and shade.”
- “More compact, better branched, more flowers closer together, more durable. Kept nice, mounded habit over a very long season.”
- “Good clean white flower, without yellow throat.”
- “Blooms were larger than comparisons and the pure white versus yellow-throated comps were attractive.”
- “This variety bloomed consistently over a long, wet, hot, and humid growing season and showed better vigor and health over the season compared to the comparisons.”
