From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2010: PENGUIN PARTY (T.Johnson ‘10) TB Midseason 34” (86cm). Look at all the cute little penguins decked out in their tuxedos, it must be a Penguin Party. These highly contrasted flowers represent another step forward in the quest for a vigorous black and white plicata. The near black color of the standards repeats in a band around stark white, strongly flared falls. Well-branched stalks have 7 buds. Makes very showy clumps that draw people to it. Sdlg.
