From Moonshine Gardens catalog, 1989: DARKLING (SDB) 13" E-L. E33-107: A deep velvety violet bitone with blue beards. Very similar to its sib CINDERS in vigor, form and coloring but doesn't have the reddish glow. It does seem to be a little earlier and more willing with its rebloom; planted last July in WA it bloomed in August! Very pod fertile at least. $10.00
