Theas Liebling grows well in my zone 8. Another Euro that likes cool weather to bloom. Fair fragrance. Very deep reddish color. Nice separated skirts.

Theas lurching open some late season blooms. What a spectacular plant. I have already pulled apart the first bloom for pollen and baby making as you can see. There are four nicely formed corollas. I’m excited to see more of this one!

I think the colour is marvellous, but to me there is something a bit weird about the texture/form of the corollas in this cv – I have never seen it in the flesh though…

It brought me out of brug retirement.
That being said, she needs special care if you want the blooms to look decent. Light and temperature are the keys.
While the tree is forming buds, you leave the entire plant in a “sun in the morning-shade in the afternoon” situation.
When the buds are about finger length, pull it out of it’s position into a “bright-shade” position. No direct sun at all.
Keep it well watered as the buds form.
Temperature is also important. 65 to 75 degrees is ideal.
If you do the above and the brug gods are smiling down upon you,
you will get this…

Wow,,beautiful, all of them,,and the color on the last one (Liz) is breathtaking.
Wouldn’t work for me, since most of mine are planted in the ground, but good to know for the potted ones!
