From Tempo Two catalog, 1989: HIGH WATERS (Blyth 89) E·EM 38" Sdlg V71-2. A complete self of blue to blue violet. The pedigree indicates the quality that can be expected as there are many blues available, but this is a fine advancement and well worth growing. It has magnificent branching, it is wide, flared and ruffled and ideally suited for that early show with up to 6 flowering points. It also makes a super garden plant. To top it off, it has a lovely perfume. (Perfect Couple X Pledge Allegiance). $25.00.
