Leslie,
I wouldn't be so quick as a Nebraskan to make that statement for a
California garden.
Here at Superstition, we only grow Eleanor Roosevelt and we bought it
from 4 or 5 different sources (only VERY reputable, including HIPS ID
Chairman Phil Edinger) and it was ALL the exact same plant. In fact, we
got it twice from Phil E to be sure. So we're sure we have Eleanor
Roosevelt and in our California garden, ER is one of the most dependable
rebloomers we grow!
So maybe in Omaha, BM outperforms ER, but that would be tough to do here
in our Central California climate garden because ER is so VERY, VERY
dependable as a rebloomer!
