Benz '04, tet, Dor-M, re, 28", 3-4 way branching with a bud count of 30; 4" black purple with thin gold edge and some teeth. This was a small plant when it arrived in late spring so it did not bloom for me. I do have some concerns about its being too hard a dormant for north Georgia since I had to send its parent Shirley Farmer back up north just to survive. However, I have had Midnight Dazzle in my garden for years and even though it is considered a hard dormant, it does beautifully here. We will have to wait until next year to find out if this will make it here.
