From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2013: BEAUTY CONTEST (Black ‘13) TB Midseason 35” (89 cm). If it is splendidly unique color you’re looking for, look no further. Mid pink standard color repeats in narrow bands around grape purple falls. Smoldering burnt coral orange beards add a bit of drama to this Beauty Contest. Branching and buds are quite variable with 2-3 branches and 5-9 buds. Garden visitors have universally loved this beauty. Sdlg. P211C: Sirocco Mist X Dinner Talk. Wicked Good sib. $50.00.
