Neutral brucehenderson On Jul 8, 2007, brucehenderson from Shreveport, LA wrote:

The only Encore I would go neutral on, and only because the foliage gets sparse in zone 8 in the South during the winter (weeds grow underneath in spring), compared w/ all other Encores that I have. Great intense bloom color and nice foliage color in fall.

Positive Magwar On Apr 13, 2005, Magwar from Royston, GA (Zone 7b) wrote:

Dense spreading variety, lustrous green foliage with purple winter coloration, beautiful flowering early spring, returning each fall. Blooms in single form, purple. (taken from id tag on plant.)
