From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2014: RAINING CATS AND DOGS (Black ‘14) TB Midseason-Late 34” (86cm). Look out you don’t step on one. Standards are mid old gold. Rather tailored falls allow the unusual and fanciful plicata pattern to be fully appreciated. The small white area around beards is peppered wine. Fall centers are mid butter yellow heavily dotted rose plum and banded darker rose plum with narrow white rims. Strong growth and show stalks. Unique! Sdlg. R27B: Out of the Dark X Magic Masquerade. $55.00.
