From Tempo Two catalog, 2015: SOUL SINGER (Blyth 2015 Aust) ML 37”. This is an unusual shade of blue, a shade we have not seen before. It is blue violet or light navy blue, with the falls being just a shade darker and with a ¼” edge of the standard colour. Beards set the flowers off and are vibrant mustard yellow. It is quite a contrast and stands out among any colours in the garden. It is stately with strong stems, lots of flowers and an easy grower. Fertility untried. (S13-D: Dance a Dance sib x Unknown.) Sdlg No. W85-1. $50.00.
