References

From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2009: WIZARD OF ODDS (P.Black 09) TB Early-Midseason (34” 86 cm). There is no doubt the wizard lives up to his name. Wizard of Odds gives a strong performance where other streakers have failed. Tightly formed flowers are carried on strong show stalks with plenty of buds. Its robust growth will keep its magic going season after season. No two flowers are alike, not even close. The basic color is bright ruby red and bright gold but applied to both standards and falls in whatever whimsical pattern the wizard conjured up at the moment. Have a look at the pictures and you’ll see this is one mixed up wizard. The pod parent, Pure as Gold, is a strong rebloomer and while Wizard of Odds hasn’t rebloomed here, it has great breeding potential for both rebloom and broken color. Try it and see what your odds are. Sdlg. K89A: Pure as Gold X Infernal Fire. $60.00.
