Hybridizer's Comment : A real mix of colours here that are hard to put into words but the picture helps a lot. Standards are blended peach to apricot coffee. Falls are soft lavender violet with 3/8" edge of mushroom and soft burgundy hafts coming part way around the fall and tending to apricot beside the beards. There is a large creamy white outburst in the centre of the falls below vivid tangerine beards. Wide, flared and ruffled with some show stems. Fertile. Sister to 'Café Viva'. |
Hardiness Zones 4-8 for most varieties, Some cultivars tolerate colder, others tolerate warmer zones (please comment in comment box with your location if this cultivar grows well in zone 3, 4, 9, or 10.) |
Exposure Prefers full sun for optimal performance, may still bloom in half-day shade |
Water: Prefers well drained good garden soil, Tolerant of dry conditions in established plants, Intolerant of swampy conditions. |
PH Prefers Neutral to basic solis 6.1 to 8.5, quite toleranr of more extreme conditions |
