I've been reading and learned that this plant has different forms. Does anyone have both to compare? Does one bloom earlier than the other? Do the hummingbirds have a preference?

I'm still on the hunt for early bloomers. I have silene regia and it's a long bloomer for me but doesn't start early.

I am trying S. virginica for the first time from seed this year Christie but Steve Kapusta grows it in Canada so he will probably post his experience with it.
