ELI is new to me, but based on my experience with Jim Murphy's cultivars, I would expect terrific habits. FLOURISH I know--and its habits ARE terrific. Each year it delights my eye with its near perfect garden presence--a balanced plant with tall, beautifully branched scapes that show it's lightly ruffled citron flowers off in the best possible way. The flowers go on and on for several weeks, and the plant seems not to be bothered by the metabolic cost of all those flowers (and all those seed pods) and goes on each year increasing slowly but steadily in size.
Because both of these plants are of clean, pale yellow--I think you could hope for colors other than yellow--perhaps a near white, or a greenish tone. Since ELI has an eyezone and is descended from an Orangeish parent, melons wouldn't be out of the question, along with eyezones.
