Re: summer beauty

Susan, I grew 'All Summer Beauty' several years ago, and even though it died
back to the ground here in zone 5b, it bloomed on new wood.  I don't know if
this is the same cultivar as the new one called 'Endless Summer', but
whether it is or not, I don't understand all the excitement about 'Endless
Summer', since 'All Summer Beauty' has been around for at least 4 years when
I bought it at a local nursery here in backwards (horticulturally speaking)
