MOONSTRUCK MADNESS [Salter J 1998] has a 5" flower on 28" scapes, and reblooms fairly quickly. Often it opens two flowers a day, so the impact is good. The contrast between petal color, a cream white, and edge & eye, which are a rich purple, is mesmerizing. The plant is a strong grower. It came to me from zone 5, but Florida is where it was hybridized. It seems to be happy to be back, grin.
