References

From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2010: NOSFERATU (Black ‘10) SDB Midseason Late 14” (36cm). Even though Nosferatu may have been a plagiarized version of Dracula, this version is no knock off. Its burning hues are quite unique. Indian red standards have a shimmering satin sheen as any vampire cloak should. Falls are the same but with a bit more yellow that sets them aflame. Near-black spots draw you nearer to danger. Glowing orange gold beards seal your fate. It is a favorite among garden visitors. Some in this color range burn in the sun but not this one. Sdlg.!O306A: (Eye of Newt x Marksman) X Gingerbread Trim. $18.00.
