  • [AIS Bulletin No. 186, July 1967]: ARCTIC FANCY. (IB. A. Brown '65). In the same color range as Rococo; violet stitching on white ground with falls showing some violet veining, 18". Two branches, four buds, flower quite large with wide petals; almost too large as flowers tend to bunch, although stalks may have been shorter than normal due to several frosts. [Varietal Comments MITG by Earl Roberts, 67.] -- DavidPotembski - 01 May 2013
  • Arctic Fancy was in bloom, approximately, May 16 - 30, 2017, at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, zone 4b. It had purple based foliage at the base of the leaves at least during and after bloom, and on the spathes as well. -- HollyJohnson2017-04-01 - 01 Aug 2017
