I will be correcting the registration by adding rebloom. An oversight on my part, as it seems to continuously rebloom until frost.
Black Red with a touch of purple and a green throat. Cream midribs, cream edge, and grayed colors on cool mornings. Very sunfast! The strong scapes hold the blooms floating at shoulder level for many. Fertile both ways, and producing many nice offspring for me.

This is a soft pink-lavender with a flat face presenting a lighter watermark edged with a purple line, and has a light green throat. Nice ruffling, substance, and pod fertility, plus good dark green foliage, add to this good garden grower. The pale-green/white throat extends into a watermark on the sepals; the petals have a more lavender band edged with purple.
