From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2010: CALGARY (T.Johnson ‘10) TB Midseason 40” (102 cm). Even though it is a bonus plant, it is still overall one of the best introductions for this year. It grows strong and fast which is one of the traits we look for when choosing bonus material. Its superior clump effect can be seen in the picture above. Domed standards are blue white tinted light pink. Falls are mid blue with an overall rosy cast and rosier hafts. White beards are tipped tangerine. Show stalks usually have around 8-10 buds. Clean, purple based foliage. Sdlg. TU259A: ((Sultry Mood x Conjuration) x (Sea Quest x Proud Tradition)) X Fogbound. BONUS. |
