Is Sleeping Beauty much slower than First Frost?

10 years ago

I planted the two at the same time last year, and First Frost's growth--while by no means spectacular--has been more noticeable than SB's. Just wondering if this has been the case for others who grow the two.

Thanks!

Sleeping Beauty......hmmmmmm.
I wonder how it got its name, WW.
Sounds like it was a slow one from the very beginning.

SB was a good grower till I moved it (was taking over the path). Pic is from 2011 (planted in 2008). Have to find a new spot and get it back on track.

Nice SB, Paul.

I have found SB to be slower than FF, yes. But mine is in a pretty shady spot so that could be a factor in my garden.

Thanks for answering my question. Guess I just need some patience. Hope mine looks as good as Paul's one day.
