For Better For Worse

FOR BETTER FOR WORSE

TET 1714 (Not Guilty x sdlg 1312) x sdlg 3412, where the seedlings include things like All Things to All Men, Gnashing of Teeth, Desire of Nations, Kingdom Without End, Faith That Moves Mountains, Trouble in Paradise – and the reason why the kids are so beautiful and diverse. 7", 26" (range of 24-29"), 4-way branching (6-way initial year), 15 buds (can be less when crowded), EM (starts early July here and still blooming end of August because of rebloom), Sev, fr, instant Re in MN ranges from 25-100% depending on the year. Flawless, unspotted rose cranberry (sometimes grape cranberry); triangular multi-lavender eye and edge plus ivory; yellow to green throat. Hardy, easy opener, gorgeous flower, but I wish it were 4-6" taller and had 5-10 more buds (don't we all - ), hence the name. So until the price comes down, I'm recommending it just for hybridizers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS A PARENT IF YOU WANT TO GET AN ASTONISHING NUMBER OF ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, INTERESTING, DIVERSE, SUPER FANCY FACES. (Note: this was always an "outside" plant so I didn't start using it in hybridizing until April 2018. Many of the kids are taller and more robust in the GH than For Better for Worse, although they haven't yet been outside for me to assess the plant habit there). What I was especially excited about was that IT WORKED WELL WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING I PUT IT WITH! Most of you know I'm not a capital letter and exclamation point kind of person-. Just wanted you to know I was blown away throughout the season by the sheer number of its beautiful kids, and even more so when I saw the offspring all pictured together. I think you will have great fun experimenting with it. Fertile both ways
