TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCESTET 25814 {[All Things to All Men x (Chariot of Clouds x Skin of My Teeth)] x [Gathering of Nations x {(Inscribed on My Heart x Chariot of Clouds) x Entwined in the Vine}]} x Flying Purple People Eater. 9" (to 9.5"), 38" (some years 34", another 40"), 3-4 way, 16 buds, ML, Sev, fr, Re (but not MN). Cranberry grape; lavender eye; chartreuse throat. Crispate UF (pinched petals). The flower might be similar to something else that has been introduced (lots of the UF's look similar to me), but what makes it stand apart are its height and fast increase to a clump and how it bouquet blooms. In its test location it went from 1 to 5 to 13 to 21 fans after 36 months in place despite being crowded by surrounding plants, but I would not expect it to replicate that performance in every location in every garden. Pollen fertile, but not pod fertile. |
