Beathtaking!
I'm shocked I am writing the first review because it is clearly one of the favorites of my collection. Mine is much more mauve and less neon than the picture. It is stunning and had almost 20 blooms the first time it bloomed. I love this plant!
An All-Time Favorite: Pretty, Easy, and Super Hearty!
I was so surprised that Mandan Dandy had no reviews as it's an absolutely wonderful cultivar. I purchased it about 10 years ago from the Violet Barn when it was listed as "Salmon Ella" (by mistake and later corrected) simply because I liked the name. It tremendously hearty, a true survivor. Mandan Dandy has been one of 15 AVs that I own that have survived all types of neglect (not re-potted for YEARS, withered down to a crown of just four leaves, and no fertilizer for gobs of time)--as well as too much love (too heavy soil and over-fertilization and watering). It has rebounded every single time, included from repeated I've crownings (at least three of them). Heartiness aside, Mandan Dandy is a beautiful and low-maintenance. It now lives in a self-watering pot, and the leaves grow symmetrically and it blooms heavily just sitting natural sunlight. The flowers are a gorgeous coral, for me, a bit paler than the photos, but a true coral. I can't say enough positive things about this AV.
