TUXEDO (Schreiner '65) The latest, and we are inclined to think definitely the best, of a long line of excellent blacks from this breeder. Black from the blue side, the large flowers show a uniform depth of color, coupled with a richness of texture that looks black. Tall, well-branched as we saw it in Ohio, this is one we covet.
