From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2010: CLASS CLOWN (Black ‘10) TB Midseason-Late 41” (104cm). Class Clown is bright, cheery and sure to put a smile on your face. Standards and styles are bright gold. Exuberantly colored falls have mahoganyto amber hafts becoming darker plum bands along outer edges. A big fuchsia grin spreads across the centers. Plush old gold beards complete this fun ensemble. Strong growth yields show stalks with 3 branches and spur and about 8-9 buds. While it hasn’t rebloomed in Salem, the genetics are there for it to do so in warmer climates. Sdlg. M101AA: ((Melba Hamblen x Mother Earth) x Goldkist) X End of Summer. $50.00. |
