I have had this plant for 2 years and i really dont remember where I got it. Not from HVH. It was labeled as Me-Oh My-Oh

 but I am not sure anymore who it is.


I see that HV is now offering a Oh me and the photos is nowhere near mine. I have looked on the net for other pics and they all look like HV's plant.

Do I have the real mCcoy or someother, if so, any idea who is it?

the plant is full, upright with dark very heavy leaves.

Here she be:

Hmm,that could be a warmer weather Me-Oh-My-Oh flower. There is a lot of variability of color with that one. Probably have to wait to see a few more flowers at different times and compare it to other postings of it. The leaves are dark as you described. In my experience the bush is upright at first but as it gets larger needs some support of it tends to sprawl and some stems droop downward.

Sorry I can't be sure from the one photo.

I'm going to call it Me-oh-my-oh Connecticut style. It looks close enough to some of my photos so say it is the right cv, although I can understand your doubts based on other photos from other places.
