This one really is pretty white, with a light ruffle. If anything maybe a hint of green, or perhaps a reflection of the green throat. A mid-season blooming dormant, diploid; it is 28 inches tall. Usually it starts blooming on Father’s Day. It is listed at 6 inches, but is really more like a little over 5 for me; bright clean star shaped flowers.

Cameroons Twister is a large (40 inches tall), showy dormant tetraploid. The 7.5 inch fragrant flowers start blooming in the mid to late-season and then rebloom almost until frost, and there are plenty of them….40 buds on 5 branches. The big fuchsia, crispate, unusual form flowers open wide in the base and show off a large baby pink eye zone over a green throat, while the ends of the petals are often pinched and twisted. Cameroon is a country in Africa so I am curious how this show stopper got its name.

Unregistered seedling by Krentz-Matel – 2009
These seeds were given to me by a friend to grow out. Seedling #: LKeast#8. This seedling is similar in size and shape to its pod parent Peggy Jeffcoat. At only 18 inches tall the 5 inch flowers sit just above the foliage. Although usually single occasionally it will display as a “loose double” with different flowers exhibiting slightly different forms, sometimes just a “tuft” in the center. The mauve flowers are lightly ruffled and have prominent white mid ribs and there is a wine eye zone and a yellow throat. The sepals are streaked and mottled with yellow. The petals can show some streaking as well A midseason blooming dormant diploid.

This is an unregistered seedling. The plant is interesting as it doubles about half of the time. The flowers are 5 inches and a rosey lavender with a mauve eye and yellow throat. Sometimes the double flower is a full pom pom like it’s parent Big Kiss, sometime a loose fringe and sometimes just a tuft. It’s pretty, with a lightly ruffled edge when not a double as well. When single you really notice the cream mid rib but if you look closely you see it in other forms as well. You will think you have different plants. A dormant diploid, this plant is happy at the front of the border, with a height of 20 inches.

This ivory beauty has a green throat and light ruffles. She is a staple in the moon garden. She has an extended bloom period which means blooms last into the evening. A dormant tetraploid; this 23 inch tall plant has 5 1/2 inch blooms. It is list
ed as ivory but really it depends on the light sometimes it looks pale yellow and sometimes pale pink. It really stands out in the dark, with contrasting black anthers.

This gorgeous sturdy plant holds masses (35 buds on 4 branches) of cheery 5 1/2 inch fragrant flowers. They are golden yellow with a red eye above a green throat. The show starts early mid season and continues for the rest of the season. The plant is a 30 inch dormant tetraploid with nice foliage.
This plant has large fans so an order will be two fans rather than my normal three.

This is the one, where visitors to the garden stop and say “Wow, what is that?” The blooms are nine inches with a large bright yellow throat that spreads into a star when fully open. At 32 inches tall this dormant tetraploid is sturdy and holds abundant blooms without bending. Early, midseason rebloomer says it all, as he seems to bloom all summer. It’s no wonder he is a Stout Medal winner and is still winning popularity contests today.
