Moon Madness is Shelly Lyn x Orville Davis and I think Moon Shadow is a pod mate (same parents). Moon Madness shows brighter purple on opening which some would say makes it the more attractive flower. That depends on what you are looking for, of course. Moon Shadow is more reliable in propagation, both bloom very well and both show flowers larger than either of their parents. We sold out of both early this year but I think more will be available later in the summer. Use the waiting list to be informed when either is ready.

These are medium growers, making nice looking, upright bushes similar to their parents.
