References:
From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2006: ARCTIC WIND - IB, 24" (61 cm), Midseason-Late. Arctic Wind is cold, clear, and pristine white. Petal edges are lightly waved in keeping with the simplicity of Arctic Wind. Greenish texture veins add to the icy feeling and muted tangerine beards give slight warmth to the wind. Dense clumps produce an abundance of stalks with 2 branches and 5-6 buds. Again, check out the parentage. Nice breeding potential. Sdlg. K280A: pollen parent of Dolce X sib to pod parent of Dolce. $22.50. |
