From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2010: GOOD LIFE (Black ‘10) TB Midseason-Late 32” (81cm). Good Life is another advancement in the quest for strong growing, hardy plicatas. It inherits strong growth and hardiness from First Page and the pretty plicata pattern of Silk Brocade. Palest pink standards are sanded, veined and washed red violet. White falls are narrowly edged with red grape plicata bands and heavier, more red plum hafts. Soft tangerine over white beards give a bit more interest. Strong, vigorous growth produces show stalks with 3 branches and spur and 9-10 buds. Clumps are very feminine and pretty. Sdlg. N117D: First Page X Silk Brocade. BONUS.
