DAFFY DUCK (Black ‘16) TB Midseason-Late 45” (114cm) You gotta “wove that kwazy wittle duck”! ‘Daffy Duck’ is impossibly cute and you can bet he’ll put a smile on your face. Purple black standards sit atop velvety black falls. A nest of short white veins accents the vibrant orange red beards. Super vigorous plants produce massive clumps packed with stalks and bloom. This is a favorite among garden visitors. Use to breed BBs, IBs and even tet MTBs. Superb variety in every way. Thank you Don and Ginny Spoon for suggesting the name. Sdlg.
