Trial: Perennial

Years Trialed: 1999, 2000

Good Qualities

Year 1

Grows well; Color.

Year 2

Color (2); Easy; We didn’t cut this, It is small and unimpressive next to ‘Jacob Kline’ or ‘Raspberry Wine’ – why bother; Herby fragrance.

Problems

Year 1

Not as vigorous as ‘Jacob Kline’. Gets mildew. Flower is smaller than ‘Jacob Kline’; Starting to flower but too short. Webworm taking over tips.

Year 2

Not very uniform, in form or color; Just doesn’t seem to be as vigorous as the purple – maybe with better nutrition and some mulching it would improve; Doesn’t like our heat (Zone 6b); Susceptible to powdery mildew, small flowers.

Comments

Year 1

Inferior to ‘Jacob Kline’(3); Similar to ‘Panorama’; Anyway, flowers are small; Not much of an improvement over the straight species; Doesn’t seem to be good cut flower.

Year 2

Similar to Monarda didyma ‘Jacob Kline’; Retail florist says that keeping qualities are poor; Postharvest: when cut with only couple petals open, will last 14 days in oasis preservative at 80 F; Above cultivar is much better and is very mildew resistant.
