Branching | 2 - 6 way | By far, a favorite of many people who either viewed it in the gardens or as a future on our website, there is a lot going on in this unique cultivar. It is an extremely light lavender that is heavily diamond dusted with a huge green, pleated appliqué throat that extends out on all segments. It's hard to see in these images but there is a very light lavender band outside the appliqué throat. Petals at the heart of the flower do not touch.
The alternate images will give you close-up views of the outstanding raised teeth, tendrils and serration of the edge that at times is cellophane looking. Each segment re-curves, but the petals re-curve to form a point. Just wild! Dare I say “distinctive”? Wild Planet has up to 6 way branching. Pollen is very easy; pods require persistence but will definitely set viable seeds. I'm working at increasing the bloom size while keeping the form and duplicating it on different colors. We already have a purple with white teeth progeny that looks promising. |
