Hybridizer’s comments: “I was impressed with this one when it bloomed as just a first year seedling. I had ran out of room in my seedling beds after it sprouted from a seed, so I had to plant it at the edge of the property near some large hardwood trees. Needless to say, I was shocked when it bloomed only after a year, despite many roots from the competing hardwood trees. Gaudy Grasshopper is a very prolific rebloomer. It blooms from May to October here. It is difficult to write how many buds it has because it is a bud builder, meaning the scape at first may seem to only have a certain number of buds, but more and more buds subsequently appear on the scape. I have seen it have up to 50 buds on one scape.” Parentage: (Green Derby × sdlg) This plant was donated by Melody Williams Campbell. This plant will ship in Fall 2022.
