Bloom time in Vale, NC: photographed in bloom in our garden on June 13, 2026, June 14, 2026; AHS season: midseason
Bloom factoid: We only have one season of bloom photos so far (2026), so the jury's still out on its Vale, NC timing. That's a bit earlier than its registered AHS season (midseason) would suggest. Carolina heat will do that.
