Ruffled much as are sweet peas, light phlox purple (pinkish purple) standards swirl to meet at their tips. Flaring, ruffled falls are full orchid purple (reddish purple) topped with orange red beards. Very nicely formed, averaging eight buds. This is Evelyn's first tall introduction. It is different in color and truly a "Pretty Beginning". 38". $30.00. Bennett Jones. |
