SULTRY GIRLS (Davisson-J 2013)

These voluptuous 8" cascading blooms are an unusual shade of "smoky" near black purple with a lighter purple watermark and a wide cream yellow to chartreuse throat. Lots of "blue" tones and a velvet finish on cool mornings. Waxy, rainproof substance. Petals roll up tightly in clock spring fashion and sepals twist with increasing heat and humidity. A partial cream yellow midrib punctuates the watermark. Scapes are 38" with 3 to 6 way branching, 24 buds. Flawless, semi-evergreen foliage. Increases quickly forming a showy clump. Starts blooming early season and blooms out slowly for a long bloom season. Easily fertile both ways. Tetraploid from CAROLINA COOL DOWN X SILVER SWORD. AHS Honorable Mention award winner.
