CHAMPAGNE ELEGANCE

Another direct descendant of "Chevalier de Malte", a pure white with a pretty lavender border on the horizontal falls. Discreet red beards. Medium-sized flowers with a lot of regular ruffles.

Creamy white standards infused with yellow, falls with a soft yellow centre and wide amethyst border diffusing towards the centre. Orange yellow beards. Large, wavy flowers, very well branched stems and 8 to 9 buds on average. (Cayeux 10 440A seedling).

The very large, well-bodied flowers are slightly ruffled. Pure golden yellow with beards of the same colour on a small white area. 6 to 7 buds and often several stems per clump. Great garden value.

Belle Moisson's sibling with standards of pale yellow that deepens near the edges. The falls are yellow with red-brown striations near the golden beards and also peppered with red speckles towards the bottom. Attractive, beautifully branched with a long flowering period.

This new and luscious combination carries numerous elegantly ruffled flowers (11 on average) which feature medium-sized standards. The nearly horizontals falls of amaranth, with borders which turn to a light pink copper tone, are nicely echoed by bronze-coloured beards. We are pleased to have named this exquisite variety in memory of Madame Tardivier, former director of the Jardins des Tuileries at the Louvre.
