DAILY COMMUTE -- (Life and Liberty x (Blue Crush x Beachlands)) ht. 28�/70cm, E, rebloom, 3 branches, 24 buds, 5�/12cm, tetraploid. Good disease tolerance, cold hardy, fertile both ways. A large blue violet eye surrounded by a violet mascara band carries around the edge as a matching two tone picotee. Thick petals, strong recurrent blooming, and good disease tolerance contribute to excellent garden performance. This cultivar is an admirable refinement within the long breeding lines with blue and violet eyes, combining great flower colors with improved vigor and habit. Make the ride more enjoyable for 130.


MOVE MOUNTAINS -- ((Red, White and Blue x Well Groomed) x (Ocean Wild x Blue Utopia)) ht. 25”/63cm, M, rebloom, 3 branches, 20 buds, 4.5”/11cm, sev, tetraploid. Very good disease tolerance, cold hardy, fertile both ways. The clear near white base color boldly contrasts with a dark blue violet eye with a distinct red violet mascara band above a green throat; pattern is also prominent on the sepals. They do move, you know. Not much and not fast, but mountains will move as long as you never stop pushing. This captivating variety is a breeder’s delight as the deeply dominant blue-eye genes ads punch to all good crosses, while the white base cleans up dingier colors. Tackle new challenges for 130.


COMMON GROUND -- ((Scarlet Angel x Blue Pearl) x (Life and Liberty x Blue Riviera)) ht. 26�/66cm, EM, rebloom, 3 branches, 21 buds, sev, tetraploid. Very good disease tolerance, cold hardy, fertile both ways. A bright violet red base has a large indigo eye surrounded by a red violet mascara band above a green throat. This flower marks a significant turning point in the daunting task of crossing thoroughbred reds and blues to create a pleasant mix. It’s trickier than it sounds, at least in our experience. Neither line wants to give in, resulting in few offspring worth keeping. But that changed when these parents compromised to produce just the right colors and proportions to make the mix work. Meet me in the middle at 160.


EYE FOR TALENT -- ((Higher Calling x Elite Stock) x (Scandal In Bohemia x If You Loved Me)) ht. 40�/100 cm, M, rebloom, 4 branches, 28 buds, 7�/18cm, ev, tetraploid. Average disease tolerance, cold hardy, fertile both ways. The clean salmon pink base has a green yellow throat with a pronounced scarlet eye that continues around the petals as a narrow picotee. Petals are thick, ruffled, big and wide with blooms borne on tall, branched scapes. Large fans produce multiple scapes during blooming season. Overall effect is a big, tall, riot of color and texture. See what others miss for 130 SF.
