Thanks for this info ... looks like a real winner and an absolute 'must have'!!! Â;)

A smaller paniculata??? If this is the case, it really is a winner!!!

Still have no Incrediball in my local nurseries...

I've got White Diamond's site picked out & will be reserved by Sept when we dig up 3 Peonies in a sunny row ... will wait & exercise patience for this one!!! Â;)

I have a perfectly, wonderful experience with 1 of Dr, Dirr's 'Royal Majestics - Gardener's Confidence Collection ... a Serrata that reigns in my piece of soil!

BTW Ostrich - 'miss reading your posts ... glad to see you back! Â;)

Ditas, thanks! I also am looking forward to seeing how this White Diamond will turn out - I am a bit scared by how big these beauties (Limelight, Quick Fire etc.) are all turning out in my yard! LOL!

BTW, I only saw the Royal Majestics series being sold at Home Depot one year, and then I have not seen them around here any more. I wonder where else may be selling it?

G'morning Ostrich - I deed get get my, 'Midnight Duchess' from HD, in the Spring of '07 & have never seen another since, either. HD is an Atlanta Co. ... makes sense, since Dr. Dirr's developmental nursery is around there, if I'm not mistaken.

If memory serves me, still, there were only a handful of them then ... I remember grabbing this MD because of the truly impressive, 'eggplant' colored, canes!!! Â;)
She did not bloom the first season - I didn't care ... dark legs bearing nice sumptuous foliage ... good enough for me! Last season ... I posted praises to her regal beauty!!!

This is a glorious time here with all of my now, 9 H.paniculatas showing off their creamy whites. BTW, you're right, I move my lg. pot of L'light to an even sunnier spot, to see how quickly her lime fades ... the first blossoms are indeed turning ... just a faint hint of lime, tho the creamy froth ... ohhhhh!!!

HAGD!
