I forgot to post this one. Didn't do well at all this year. This will be the only bloom.

I need to rework this bed.

Casino Jack, a Bud Bennett one

I like Big Bird and You Glow Girl. It's too bad Casino Jack didn't do well for you this year. It looks like a lovely shade of pink. I fear we have a few that are taking the year off, some of which did wonderfully last year.

Big Bird's Friend and Casino Jack are my favorites. I had a bad year with my Bennett's, Ruth. Joyful Lassie did not make it through the dry winter, and Salty Skipper lost a lot of ground...and no blooms this year.

Kay, I hate to hear that your Bennett's aren't doing well either. I hope you don't lose Salty Skipper. I don't think you can buy it or Wild Cherry anywhere. I lost Wide Eyed Wally over the winter and my other Bennett's aren't doing well.

Really like the nuanced colors on Cherry Cheeks. Rocket City looks classic. Good form and color.......I only have one Bennett, Wild Cherry Wine, and it's always been a slow grower in the 4 years I've grown it. This year though one clump of it seems to be growing a little more vigorously, while the other one is still just going at it's usual leisurely pace. Same growing conditions for both. Go figure.......Maryl

Odd, isn't it Ruth. I may pot up Salty Skipper if I see any deterioration at all, I will do so. It had always done really well, and it could be the drought or the repeated warm ups/freezes.

I sure hope you don't lose Salty Skipper, I always admire that one & would add it if I could find it. I had an opportunity several years ago & talked myself out of it.

Love You Glow Girl, and Casino Jack is a great pink, hope it does better for you. I think the only Bennett I have is Skipjack. It did well for several years, then I almost lost it to crown rot a couple of years ago. Got down to 1 fan, but it bounced back, although come to think of it, I don't think I've seen it bloom yet.
