From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2010: BETTER THAN BUTTER (Black ‘10) TB Early-Late 41” (104cm). This buttery confection will make your mouth water. Ruffled standards are bright white edged glittering bright yellow. White and yellow styles arch above round, flared falls of light yellow blending darker toward edges that are narrowly banded darker gold. Soft tangerine beards add a lovely contrast. Three branches and rebranch provide 8-9 buds. Clumps are very bright and showy. You can't ignore something that is Better than Butter! Thank you to Kathy Chilton for the nice name. Sdlg. N36A: Jersey Bounce X (Secret Admirer x Chiffon Ruffles). $50.00.
