Nickname

Hafts and the area beside the beards lined orange. Beards white tipped red orange. Slight sweet fragrance. ((Voltage x (Black Hills Gold x Magic Raiment)) X Caracas). Is a plicata application of orange pigment possible? This introduction says yes! The characteristic is passed on to its seedlings and there is no reason that the pattern can not be created in pinks and yellows. We held this seedling from introduction for a couple of years to determine if the pattern is inheritable. Good branching and bud cout. 20.00
