From AIS Bulletin #233 Spring 1979 Introducing MIRRORED SKY. Sdlg. 6575K. (Involved parentage). Not just another blue, but an exquisite self of sparkling pale blue. The purity of almost true blue, with virtually no lavender influence, makes it outstanding. Large, beautifully formed flowers with extra broad, ruffled and crimped falls and full, fluted standards. White beard. Its blooms are crisp and clean with good substance. A dependable bloomer and strong grower. A most attractive show piece for the garden. Midseason to late, 34". $25.00. Echo Hill Garden. |
