   V. sez:
   I don't grow this one, but the established VL ones I do
grow don't have any worse growth habits than the early
bloomers, nor do the fans start growing later - only the
stalks. I have RECHERCHE, COPPER BELL, and SILVER FIZZ
which bloom late. SILVER FIZZ is listed as EML, but is
always really late - so much so that I have taken it to a
Japanese show, though it was down to one mutant bloom.
