- “The variety of flower colors and shapes offers great interest!”
- “Large beautiful flowers of many colors. Has outlasted comparisons.”
- “The entry was better than the comparisons, longer bloom time and better quality flowers.”
- “Excellent flower color combination on healthy plants, no powdery mildew.”
- “Really cool looking bloom shape and a nice variety of colors, vigorous and healthy through most of the summer.”
- “Bright, bold blooms on compact plants well-suited for landscape and bedding. The first flush of blooms is high quality, almost all fully double. Flower quality is an improvement. Plants produced bright colorful double blooms over a long growing season and retained a more compact plant and higher bloom quality than either comparison. Entry continued to produce large double flowers during the summer season when both comparisons were producing mostly single or semi-double blooms.”
