FROSTED VELVET

A child of the excellent "Dusky Challenger". It is a rich navy blue (almost exempt from violet). Vigorous grower and often three flowers blooming at the same time. Medium blue beards. RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2000.

White standards discreetly infused with amethyst along the edges and lemon yellow toward the heart. White falls with a purplish amethyst brim (1cm wide). Amply waved flowers with discreet pale yellow beards (average of 8 buds). The last one to flower in this year's collection.

Standards light blue, yellow infusions; falls blue-white, mid to dark yellow bands mostly at hafts; beards yellow in throat, blue at end.

A multi-coloured tableau: light tan standards streaked with silver-white and infused with purple, uniform purple falls covered in white veins. Bronze yellow beards. Not for those who prefer the classic varieties!

Creamy white standards faintly tinted with pale green and white falls with a precise, mid-blue border. Pure yellow beards. Wavy, large flowers and an average of 9 buds per stem.

Magnificent offspring of our champion "Ravissant". Totally pure white standards and large pinkish purple falls with a large white heart, contrasting against the orange-yellow beards. Moderate ruffles, excellent branching. Pure, crisp colours. A very decorative flower.
