Rating	Author	Comment
Neutral	Mainer	On Jul 29, 2009, Mainer from Durham, ME (Zone 3a) wrote: This plant fooled me into thinking it died for I bought in back in 2005 and it never bloomed until 2009. Lovely purple but I hope it is not going to take another four years to bloom again.
Positive	kdaustin	On Sep 25, 2008, kdaustin from Austin, TX (Zone 8b) wrote: Undead..undead. Nice dark purple...though not as dark in my central tx garden's heat as in a cooler clime as I dreamed it would be. Still, very pretty and a good bloomer. Have only had for two years so can't say much more longterm.
Positive	LilyLover_UT	On Jan 16, 2005, LilyLover_UT from Ogden, UT (Zone 5b) wrote: (Hanson '95) 33" M Sev Tet 5.5". AM '01. Dark purple with a lemon-lime throat. Fabulous! Fertile both ways. Doesn't fade as much as most purples.
