L-VL. 35".Beautiful form - a large, full, round, well-ruffled flower. Smooth vibrant mid blue-purple falls with a well-developed white wire rim and virtually no signal. The standards and stylearms are a little redder making a pleasing contrast. 1-2 branches, 3-4 buds. Broad upright blue-green spear foliage with flowers held well above on longish stalks. An excellent very fertile parent for vigor, form, and the wire edge effect. This seedling was first admired growing way at the back of the seedling patch by Chuck and Becky Simon. So Simon said "introduce" and now we have. $30.00 |
