Derived from 'Tabac Blond' and 'Golden Panther', this is a pretty amaranth red, slightly coppery, well composed and enhanced by the radiance of it’s vivid, bright red beards. Excellent shape, regular waves and very good foliage qualities. (Cayeux seedling 10 186 B).

Flowering:Early

    SHARPER IMAGE

    €7.00
    Bred from "Special Feature", it has inherited its spur-like beards, these ones being pale lavender, the rest of the flower being ice-white. Very strong, well-bodied flowers, with nearly horizontal falls. A classic beauty, useful in the garden for its striking looks and late flowering.

      SIXTINE C.

      €7.00
      A new pattern: white falls decorated on the edge with thin bright blue-violet veins. Perfectly pure white falls and red-orange beards. Huge flowers on perfect stems with 8 to 9 buds.

        SONGEUR

        €12.00

         Unpublished! Lavender standards infused with acid yellow at the top. Smoky lavender falls edged in a diffuse green yellow. Orange-yellow beards. Over time, the majestic flower tends to lighten up. Beautiful, healthy foliage. (Seedling Cayeux 12 173 C).

          SORCELLERIE

          €10.00
          Certainly not a champion for number of buds: on average 5 to 6 . However this son of 'Macaron' and 'Ciel Gris sur Poilly' is one of the most surprising. Soft yellow standards and cream toned falls, peppered and edged in purplish red! Yellow beards. Lovely shape. (Cayeux seedling 07 135 A)

            SOULIGNÉ

            €13.00

            Very graceful variety with pure white standards and white falls with a delicate light to medium blue, slightly radiating border. Rather inconspicuous white beards with yellow tips. Nice modern shape and well balanced. (Cayeux seedling 10,350 A).

              TERRE DE SAVANE

              €7.50
              Yellow melting into light brown: amber-yellow standards infused with brown tones at the base, slightly less intense yellow falls with light-brown borders. Beards are golden orange. Superb low branching stalks with 10 to 11 buds on average.
              Flowering:Mid-season to late

                VERTIGE

                €11.00

                Astonishing acid yellow with nuances of green. Light sulphur yellow standards and greenish yellow falls with a thin white border. Light yellow beards extended with a short white median stripe. Very shapely and strong, exemplary stems bearing an average of 10 buds. (Seedling Cayeux 12,343 A).

                Flowering:Early to mid-season

                  WATERLINE

                  €12.00
                  Pale blue standards shading deeper in lower center, Blue-white falls with a light blue edge (6 mm). Carnelian red beards on white base. Fantastic formed and ruffled flowers as always with Keppel.

                    URLUBERLU

                    €7.00
                    Apricot-infused cream standards, brightest at their centre, framing rather rounded and beautifully ruffled lavender falls with wide mid-brown edges. Their imposing bright orange beards are striking. This variety, with gorgeous stems (8 to 9 buds on average), is truly one of a kind!
