The things I like about HOM are the height and branching. It's never
really bloomed early enough, in any of my gardens, to be considered an early
fall rebloomer. Last year, when the freeze hit mid October, none of the
stalks even showed color. I am encouraged by the seedling from HOM x
Gratuity which has a stalk. I may "save" it from the lower garden and use
it again. (Eternal optimist?) For sure I'll use this seedling and
pass it on, even if it's ugly.
