Tall, with erect strong scapes, 5 branches with good culture, and 25 buds. The bloom season was long this year, at 6 weeks. Fertile both ways, but not too easy on pods. Excellent parent for tall and well branched UF’S. Sunfast to 95 here. Double fan
WOODHENGE NATURAL (Murphy, 2016) Fall
42” M 7.5” Dormant, Diploid, Extended UF-Crispate
Out of Negative Image by a vigorous patterned seedling.
An unusual patterned combination of colors- Red and rose dotted bitone with a darker red band, tan to cream edge, cream midribs, and yellow green throat. The dark red color and the edges fade during the hot days making the combination and pattern even more striking. Sunfast to the mid 90’s here. 3 branches, 23 buds, fertile both ways. Almost all of the kids have this type of patterning. An improvement on its very good parent, Negative Image, because it is quite vigorous.
Triple fans or larger. $30
