Well,Hello Beautiful

(Gossard, James) 2017 introduction

(Phantom Warrior x Tripped out) x (Tetra When Bears Fly )

Seedling number F213 (C72)

Flowers are maroon purple have an overlay of charcoal and brown over the green throat. It has a patterned blue purple eye zone. Both sepals and petals are patterned. Sepals are edged in white.

The first time I saw this unique seedling bloom, I looked at her and thought, "Well, Hello Beautiful." Her super interesting color combination of pink and purple with her patterned blue-purple eyezone really caught my eye. Add to it the brush strokes of charcoal and brown over her green throat, and you have nothing else like her in the garden. Rather than looking dirty or muddled, the brown brush strokes highlight and contrast her green throat. Her height indicates she would be best in the middle of the border. Her 10" bloom and stunning good looks ensure she will never be overlooked in that location. Underneath the gorgeous flower is a dormant, hardy plant with 5-6 way branching and a bud count of 24-30. Not only will she put on a stunning show, but will continue to bloom for you for a long time as well. This is one flower everyone should have......$25 Double fans.
