First Prime has been a winner for me! It is velvety and tall, a rich color, many budded on well-branched scapes, occasionally polytepals, but most importantly for long bloom, it is both a bud builder and it reblooms! A winner all around! It is vigorous and it handles division as if nothing happened. Terrific!
