When this was first growing for the season, I was not impressed at all with it but as it grew through out summer, it was better and better!

Please note that this is a review of a first-year plant. I don't have any information on spread or invasiveness yet, and I have not over-wintered it. I'll try to come back and add further notes next season.

I planted 'Moreno' in my garden early this spring. It suffered fairly severe transplant shock and needed constant watering and attention, but rebounded nicely after a few weeks. It has grown steadily ever since. It is growing in full sun in moderately heavy clay soil

'Moreno' has a very upright and slender growth habit--plants are about 18" tall (first year) and only half as wide. Large, showy blooms began to open in mid-June for me (zone 5a). The plant is a real stunner and, if it continues as it has, will always have a place in my garden.
