This heat-resistant cultivar freely produces creamy white/orange red flowers both in spring and autumn.

Lye's Unique & Wassernymph
Lye's Unique & Wassernymph
I have an impression that Lye's Unique closely resembles Wassernymph. Both are strong bush

In the two photos, the left flower and leave are those from Wassernymph.

Although there seems to be slight differences between the two leavesin the photo, I find it very difficult to tell one cultivar from the other.
