From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2012: BEST AND BRIGHTEST (Black ‘12) TB Midseason-Very Late 36” (91cm). You simply can't ignore a blazingly bright clump of Best and Brightest when it blooms. Notice the underlying green tones in the falls and bright, glistening yellow edge. Three well-spaced branches produce 8-9 buds. A sibling gives positive proof that we can have white ground plicatas with yellow markings. Definitely an interesting parentage. Sdlg. P76B: Magic Masquerade sib X Cheap Frills. $50.00. |
