From AIS Bulletin #244 January 1982 Introducing CENTRE COURT. Though actually a blue-violet plicata, Centre Court gives the garden impression of a mid-blue plicata, a coloring surprisingly missing in recent introductions. Clean white grounds contrast with wide, sanded edges with clearly defined plicata banding on both standards and falls. Soft yellow beards are inconspicuous. The flowers-wide, globular, ruffled-are carried on 37" stalks, having double buds and three branches and terminal. Odessey X (Rococo x (Mary McClellan x Whole Cloth). $25.00.
