From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2014: WILD AND CRAZY (Black ‘14) Early-Late 32” (81cm. ) What appears as a lovely peach and white glaciata morphs into a zany celestar pattern in which exterior surfaces of an opening bud exposed to sun activates anthocyanin pigment and thus turning those areas purple. Developing buds show dark peach standards emerging from purple backed falls. Purple segments can appear on upper surface of falls. Patterning is variable from flower to flower. Show stalks have 8-10 buds. Sdlg. R68A: (First Page sib x Musician) X Love and Devotion. $55.00.
