From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2009: A STAR IS BORN (G.Moorhead 09) TB Early-Midseason 35” (89cm.) We fell in love with this gorgeous creation of Gerald Moorhead's when it bloomed as a guest at the 2006 AIS convention. We wanted to make sure that as many people could enjoy it as possible and asked him if we could introduce it. He agreed. Gerald is working for dark brown to black beards and A Star Is Born is a solid accomplishment in that direction. Standards are yummy mid champagne peach which is repeated over the hafts and paler diffuse bands around pale butter champagne falls. Spectacular dark reddish sienna beards are the piece de resistance. A Star Is Born offers exciting breeding possibilities. These Stars are presented on well-branched show stalks having 3 branches and 8-9 buds. Put a Star in your garden. Moorhead Sdlg. 98-141: (Bubble Up x (Lady Friend x Trousseau Lace)) X Electrique. $50.00.
