    Philadelphia, PA — This jewel has been in my garden for 5 years. Dvided twice. Color, form and substance are true to Oakes'description. Preforms best in full sun. Like a good wine, it improves with age.

    Owensboro, KY — It took 2 long years for Emperor's Dragon to bloom, but it was well worth the wait. After reading the reviews I afraid it would be dull and ugly. It was instead quite stunning!

    Kannapolis, NC — Performs well for me, but suffers by comparison with Elegant Candy, which is nearby. Produced high bud count and the clump is increasing nicely. I've had it in my garden for two years.

    PARLIN, NJ — My plant bloomed in 2nd year. Blooms are beautiful but I found them not to be lavender or tan as other readers suggest. But a salmon tone quite beautiful if planned with other support salmons. Unfortunately I was looking for lavender! If description was correct I would rate higher!

    Coeur D' Alene, ID — It was planted in a somewhat shady location and took 3 years to bloom. It is a strong grower with a strong scape and the colors in my garden matched the photo. It may require more sun than some to bloom well. It appears to be fully hardy here in zone 5.

    San Jose, CA — I was very pleased with the flowers on this plant. They match the color in the catalog, but the plant is in a semi-protected location. I have better luck with lavendar and purple when they have at least partial shade.
