32" EMRe 4" dormant, diploid 4 branches, 35 buds! Unusual Form - Cascade
(Bo Knows x Faulkner Seedling)
Butterscotch with lavender and charcoal etched and patterned eye, lighter midribs, yellow throat and ruffled edges. This cultivar started blooming June 6, and is still in bloom on rebloom scapes on August 3. Most cultivars do not rebloom here. Out of two very hardy plants. Should make a good show flower. Open early, and sunfast to 95 here. Very fertile both ways. Gorgeous blue green foliage.
2021 Looks great this year! TWO sets of reblooms this year.
Murphy 2015 48" EMRe 8" dormant, tetraploid 3 branches, 23 buds, very sunfast Unusual Form – Cascade ( Fish Face x Freewheelin)
Tall, huge, stunning yellow with large jagged purple eye, green throat, blue-green foliage. I tagged this seedling on its’ first bloom. It has proven its’ worth in 4 seedling seasons. It can have taller scapes with more branching in exceptional conditions. All cultivars have qualities and considerations. This one checks most every box, except is not pod fertile. The scapes are thick and strong, but a few have leaned over in thunderstorms when they have several 8 inch blooms, but it is not the dreaded flopper... Going to flower shows? Bring this one. Wide and broad branching with well spaced flowers.
Excellent again in 2018.
2022- Magnificent this year, very showy.
