References:
From Edenwald Gardens catalog, 1957: PEARL BLUE (Buss '56) M.36". Very beautifully formed light gentian blue. A very pale blue that does not fade, intensified inside the flower, a charming feature. Beard is lemon tipped pale blue. Stiffly substanced with over-all ruffiing. The delicate coloring of this 6-inch flower coupled with a most appealingly beautiful form distinguishes this sister seedling of Caressa. Pictured on page 9. $7.50 |
