References

From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2007: OUT OF THE DARK - TB, 40" (102 cm), Midseason-Late. This introduction is from work started several generations ago using Pretty Pansy, an old Sass luminata, to create a line of strong pink ground plicatas. While OUT OF THE DARK isn't pink, it does have apricot-buff ground and is one step closer to my goal in that it is a strong grower with plenty of tangerine genes in its heritage. The apricot-buff ground color is almost completely washed purple in the standards. The falls have wide sanded and dotted plicata bands and center stripes of dark beetroot. Beards are smoldering burnt orange and are surrounded by white lumi-plic patches sanded dark wine. OUT OF THE DARK is quite tall for this type plicata and blooms later, thus avoiding damage from late frosts. Thanks to Wolfgang Koehl in Germany for the great name. Sdlg. L81B: Tangled Web X (Key to Success sib x Key to Success). Photo page 5. $50.00.
