From AIS Bulletin #297 April 1995 Introducing PRETTY IS (R. Mullin) Very ruffled sunny yellow with large irregular spot of white around deep yellow-gold beards. Great garden performer in Oklahoma with many blooms and fast increase; but Pretty Is as pretty does and sometimes branching is not outstanding. Sdlg. #84-455M. Speculator X Precious Moments. $35.00.
