From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2009: GRAPETIZER (T.Johnson 09) TB Midseason 35” (89cm). Grapetizer is a tantalizing thirst quencher distilled from rich, concentrated grapes. Hints of white plicata sanding wash over the centers of satiny dark purple black standards. Styles are near black. Heavily ruffled pristine white falls are set off by one inch dark purple black plicata bands and dotting with a sparse peppering over centers and thin dart at ends of dark purple beards. Three well spaced branches carry 6-7 buds. Strong growth and increase. Nice advancement in overall quality of black and white plicatas. Sdlg. TW139YY: Storm Track X Blackberry Tease. $50.00. |
