How is the rebloom on Purezza?

Mine (in zone 9) has had no repeat bloom in its first 3 years, despite (or perhaps because) growing vigorously. It is possible that what I have is R banksia alba plena, but it was labelled 'Purezza-The Pearl'. Disappointing.

Hi Margaret,
How early does your 'Purezza' bloom? (I am also zone 9, Wellington region, NZ). I am currently eyeing it up in my local garden centre.

Mine will be out in about a week. However I think it's likely that what I have is R banksia alba-plena, as others around Adelaide say theirs rebloom.
The yellow form is coming out on the plains (I'm in the hills), and the single white is in full flight at Ruston's (Renmark), coinciding with the peak of R laevigata.

Margaret and Ozoldroser,
Thank you both for your prompt replies. It sounds like the true Purezza is worth getting - what a shame that you were supplied with the wrong one, Margaret, although the once-blooming banksias are so lovely anyway.

My two own root 'Purezza' have had the occasional bloom nearly all winter and has a better rebloom in spring. I live in SA where we can have some very chilly nights (in a gully). -7Cmin to 40C.
