The beards are light blue-based tipped with tangerine. Or you could say it's a light fuchsia with an olive rim. Hey, it's hard to describe! SDB, 12", M, and fertile both ways. $15.00. Cape Iris.|

  • SDB 'Serendipity Elf' was blooming at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, zone 4b, approximately, May 7-15, in 2017.

'Serendipity Elf' has Purple Based Foliage that didn't cover much of the base of the leaves, but was very dark. It was visible at least during and after flowering. -- HollyJohnson2017-04-01 - 08 Aug 2017
