Deer Haven Cherry Sweetheart (Lidinsky-BD, 2018)

2024 Update: No extra fans.

I brought this home from 2022 Regionals. I like the dark eye against the medium pink. It should be lovely in person.

2023: I got a few blooms. It's not in a great place. I'm hoping if I move it, it will do better.

2024: I reaaaaally need to move this poor flower. I have a new home ready for it when it's done blooming.

8/2020 Update:
This one has not put off a scape. It's in the tiered planter and has been overwhelmed by more aggressive plants. I'll move it and hopefully will see better results next year.

2022 Update: It finally bloomed! Worth the wait. It's thick and stunning like Puppuccino Morning.
