From Schreiner's catalog, 2016: GREAT FALLS (Schreiner 2016) M. 36”. $60.00. Delight in the sheer beauty of this dark-topped, reverse blue amoena. Its darker and full standards display a wondrously artistic magic, in distinguishing nearly each interior petal. Compared to the kinetic standards, the lighter blue falls are appealingly predictable. A darker blue medial line lends character, as shown in our photo at right. Great Falls has large blossoms, 8 buds per stem and purple tinted foliage. (Sea Power x TT1585-A) Seedling #A982-1.
