(Dan Trimmer, 2004). Tetraploid (Gillian X Cherry Valentine) 28” EM, Re. Ev. Intense red eyes have been a pursuit of mine of quite a few years. This cross of my two best breeding Tetra Dragon’s Eye offspring has produced a cultivar with both exceptional garden and hybridizing value. 4 ½ circular blooms occur in profusion all season long on this vigorous, fertile well-branched and budded garden favorite. The best comment I heard all year long was, “You won’t need Adobe Print Shop 6.0 to make that one look red in your catalog.” I just smiled. |
