Fire Horse

(Gossard, James) 2011 introduction

(Ed Marshall x Tetra Christmas is x Web Browser )

Tetraploid 34" Mid season Dormant emo fr 9" 3 way branching 18 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer.

Very Good rust resistance. Northern Hardy.

Fire Horse is Christmas red with a very huge green throat. Comes from an unintroduced Benz seedling, (Ed Marshall x Tetra Christmas Is), which was narrow. What makes Fire Horse a standout is its very flat face. It passes this trait onto its children. It is very pod fertile. The very green throat comes from tetra Christmas Is and tetra Green Widow. I have a number of future introductions from Fire Horse. The best one is a flat faced 12 inch flower, Red Hulk.. Form is UFO crispate. It is a very showy garden plant...$25 Double Fans.
