The S. vary between creamy blue-white and pale yellow; the F. vary between waxy medium light yellow and creamy chartreuse yellow; yellow beards. So lovely no matter what hues it decides to glow with! Sometimes a waxy light yellow bitone, sometimes a near amoena--last fall the standards were powder blue! Excellent flaring flowers on excellent show stalks. Excellent vigor too and it reblooms here every fall in late October or early November. $20.00
