It had a little trouble getting started at Alvaton. However, for the most
part, it has grown well, in the two local places I've seen it growing--my garden
and the display garden in Bowling Green. I used it because it's one of only a
SMALL handful that are listed as everbloomers in most rebloom publications.
My theory was that everbloomers would give more and stronger rebloomers than
those less gifted.
At one time I had a 15 foot row of FEEDBACK with dozens of bloom stalks. If
it wasn't a product of Ben Hager's program, I'd think it just didn't like the
coastal areas. Apparently, it likes some places and not others, just like most
irises.
