RANKED BY AVERAGE BUD COUNT PER SCAPE (Stem)
Information is based on annual surveys of our beds. Buds
per scape indicate the intensity of color (multiple blooms per day) during a plant's bloom
period. Bud counts influence the elapsed time in bloom, too, along with multiple scapes
per plant and climate. High bud counts, alone, are no guarantee of long bloom periods.
