From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2011: PRETTY AS A PICTURE (Black ‘11) TB Early-Late 34” (86cm). A picture is worth a thousand words but even the picture doesn't convey the depth of color of the falls created by their satiny finish. 'Pretty As A Picture' was tagged for introduction from its first bloom. Mid terra-cotta buff standards are splashed vivid dark orchid over their centers. Falls are mid peachy terra-cotta with paler centers lightly brushed orchid. Lots of ruffles, lace and fat red orange beards complete the picture. Strong stalks have 7-8 buds carried on two branches and spur. Heavy substance helps these beauties withstand bad weather. Exciting possibilities for reverse bicolors. Sdlg N84AA: Cameo Appearance X Safari Sunset. Photo front cover. $60.00.
