    I think it depends a lot on the light levels. These are two pictures of Orion taken a few days apart in different light conditions, but with the same device.

    I believe Brookside is a parent of Orien.  It looks a bit bluer than Rozanne and more upright,is that right?

    Thanks for the pics.

    Brookside. Not very prolific but that might be my garden, perhaps slightly taller than Rozanne.
     Same plant, same colour but photos look very different. It is blue rather than lavender




    Rozanne looks like this every year and still flowering in November. Flower wise they dont look very different to me but Rozanne gives you more bang for your buck!

    Yes, Orion is a bit more upright, but still spreads as you can see.

    But it sounds like Orion, Brookside and Rozanne have v similar colouring...

    Indeed they do ! I would say Orion and Brookside are possibly more upright than Rozanne which l think is inclined to sprawl, but of course a lot depends on the soil and light conditions.

    Rozanne, Azure Rush (smaller, more compact sport of Rozanne), Sweet Heidy, Eureka Blue (similar to Orion, which is its parent)

    @edhelka Brilliant. Thanks

    Love 'em all but the one I like the least is probably Rozanne which just gets too untidy for my taste. Always end up cutting it back about now. Re-flowers but there are 3 weeks at (IMO) a 'difficult' stage of the season with no flowers at all.
