Drunken Sailor is registered as between 35-48 inches tall, with an 8.5 inch flower. 3 way branching and 21 buds. Jim Murphy's website Woodhendge Gardens, states that it is a little less hardy in cold zones than most of his SEVs. It is in it's first spring in the garden. It opens beautifully even though we have cool mornings in my area.
