I think Jurassic Park (Lauer '95) performs somewhat better, although I
personally prefer the pretty-close-to-a-true-light-blue color of Edith's
falls to all the yellow/lavender bicolors I've seen. Sutton has a very
interesting seedling photo on his website with yellow standards and darker
blue falls. The closest thing I've seen to Edith is an intro in Blyth's
catalog. I don't remember the name, and don't think I've seen it in a US
catalog, and I have no idea how it'll grow, but it looked a lot like EW. I
have had Edith for about 7 years. The one year she bloomed, she looked very
nice. Not a lot of increase, either.
