Comments: July 1: needs more color, spent flowers less noticeable, spent blooms detract; July 15: no flowers, self-cleaning, nice growth habit, fills in well, nice hedge, nice leaf shape; Aug 1: sparse flowers, would be my favorite interspecific if not for the Japanese beetle damage; Aug 15: Japanese beetles love this, few flowers; Sept 1: not at floriferous as Coral, deadhead, less color in general; Sept 15: nice leaves.
