Are any of you growing these? I'd love to hear what your opinions are. I just bought this one today. It's Double Scoop Orangeberry.

I'm growing it, but it's still too early to tell on this one. The bloom form seems to be good, it holds it's bloom for a good while, but won't REALLY know until I see if it returns next year. Gorgeous this year, though!

I have double scoop bubble gum. Planted this spring. I'm afraid it will bloom itself to death. I have picked off two spent blooms, they last forever. 14 on the plant blooming now, and more buds coming. i can hardly see the plant for all the flowers. I'll be interested to see if it returns next year.

Thank you for the insight. You're right, flower girl. It seems to bloom excessively...which is great unless it blooms itself out. It appears to be a sturdy plant, and the double bloom is amazing. I guess only time will tell. I'd love to get cranberry, raspberry and bubble gum.

Who names these plants? Really?

I just planted these yesterday with some red switch grass, Shenandoah, and Japanese silver grass. The orange berry is stunning! I can't wait to fill out the rest of the bed next year.

Its now Sept and double scoop bubble gum is still going strong. I first posted about this one in June. I have lost track of how many spent flowers I've cut off, they seem to last forever. There are always more coming. Its now surrounded by perennial ageratum and looks gorgeous.
