Good Qualities
Fragrance (6); Good lavender color (3); The color range was great for spring bouquets; Pretty when they are double; Very sturdy and tall stems, nice cluster of flowers; Stem length, uniform quality for bunching, earlier than the numbered varieties I tried from Ball, doubleness was about 70%; Uniform; Beautiful in spring and early summer; Color excellent! We loved it; Easy to germinate and grow on to transplantable size.
Problems
Too many singles (2); Took too long, yield too low, I prefer plants with longer productivity; Weird twisting flower heads on some planted directly in the field, bad germination in plug trays about 50%; Stems tended to be somewhat weak, but none of my florists mentioned it; Flowers are crinkled and leaves curly, has the appearance of being diseased, not an attractive plant; Color only OK; Planted in shade but summer temps were too hot, deer ate foliage and blooms; Plants grow well for a time but when flowering should occur they stop growing and make a stunted flower stalk that never produces a flower; Too short; Did not yield well and had a very short field life. Too much time and effort and valuable field space for the little it yielded.

Comments
If all the plants were double, I would grow them again, it was a waste of space for many of them were not usable; Easy to grow, didn’t need support netting; This cultivar produced no blooms, very little, if any, growth occurred after transplanting; We were very happy with the results and hope to grow again; Flower head 3.5 cm; It did not produce marketable flowers.
