From AIS Bulletin #249 April 1983 Introducing SEA CHANTY (Helsley) SIB, 32", EM. Definitely a variety of distinction. This light blue (RHS 98C) is the bluest of all the varieties I grow-noticeably bluer than Cambridge. The 2" falls are veined darker blue (96A) which meet to form a dark blue signal. The 4" very compact flowers have a form of their own. Styles have a turquoise midrib. Sdlg. 32ยท80: (White Swirl X Sky Wings). $25.00. Calvin Helsley.
