Papa Smurf
(Gossard, James) 2009 introduction ( Swallow Tail Kite x Tetra Purple Many Faces ) Tetraploid 31" EM Dormant emo fr 10 1/2" 3-4 way branching 18-20 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer. Very good rust resistance. Northern Hardy. Flowers of Papa Smurf are lavender purple with a darker eye above a green throat. When Papa Smurf first bloomed, I new it was going to be a introduction. It was my first large flower with the size of my MEGATRON, but instead of being red, it was purple. Like Megatron , Papa Smurf is a tremendous breeder for large open faced UFO's and spiders . Flowers are UFO crispate. |
