BLUE CRUSADER

A charming historic variety of pure white carrying numerous small and light, slightly "crumpled" flowers. Beards are golden toward the centre with white tips. A strong plant, multiplying well.

Undoubtedly our favourite among our 2024 introductions ! Pure white standards with some pale yellow-green at base. Ruffled standards, almost horizontal, with a clear lavender-white ground washed and striped with purple. Each flower on a same stalk is different depending on the purple rays. Beards clear orange on a yellow-green area lighten these magnificent flowers. Well-branched stems, 7 buds in average. Sibling to ‘As de Carreau’ (Cayeux 2024).

Nice purple-pink slightly paler under the orange beards. Grows very well.

We like "Splashacata" for its strong personality. It shows pale blue-lavender standards and white falls heavily peppered with rich purple-violet dots and speckles. White beards tipped yellow. Vigorous novelty that produces regularly 8 to 10 ruffled flowers per stalk.

A good French-American cross: 'Irisades' x 'Calypso Beat'. Standards of a light butter-yellow, wide, nearly horizontal falls of a purple somewhere between mid-tones of aubergine and velvety claret-red, turning somewhat lighter towards the yellowy-orange beards. A clear contrast. Gorgeous ruffled edges and a strong stem.(brother to our 'Si Tendre' new variety)

Rosy violet standards, white showing in centre. White falls dotted and banded with rosy violet. White beards tipped with violet. Moderately ruffled flowers, nicely shaped. Extremely vigorous, it increases very fast because ot its reflowering character (it often blooms again in October).
