Looks great! And I see the similarity to Seducer. I like the leaf picture with the margins lightened.

Definitely interested to hear further comparisons with Seducer as they both mature. I like the look of both!

Can hardly wait to see what next year brings. My Seducer is planted in more sun and had smaller leaves this year, but was just planted last year (as was The King) so I'm not worried about it yet.

Last year on 6/28 :

This year 7/3

just planted seducer yesterday. The King has been in the ground since april. Seemed to be slug bait but its hanging in there. good luck with yours

Thanks for the review. I'm on the hunt for a couple big uprights and almost discounted this because of those similarities. But I really like it.

Now I just need a couple more upright golds.

Eleven - Solar Flare is a big upright in my garden.
