From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2009: SORDID LIVES (T.Johnson 09) TB Early Midseason 41” (104 cm). Sordid Lives is as colorful and twisted as the movie by the same name. Pure-hearted white standards haloed in gold are in divine contrast to the raucously colored and blatantly ruffled falls. Falls blend from white to light yellow with centers wildly washed, mottled, and dotted rose magenta to darker rose over centers leaving wide blended bands of off-white to yellow. Hafts are veined and sanded plum. Add to it zany yellow gold beards and you have an unforgettable experience. Strong show stalks with 3-4 branches and 8-11 buds arise from clean, healthy purple base foliage. Sdlg. TX56A: Whispering Spirits X Impulsive. $50.00.
