We anticipate listing plants at least through April. We have some line outs and we are breaking up some clumps. Our plants look very good and we are quite proud of our listings!! WE DO NOT SELL undersized PLANTS! We describe the plants as they are now, not as we hope they will be at shipping time..  

We mix our own soil, including alfalfa, bone meal, blood meal and WORM CASTINGS. We feed primarily with Miracle Grow with minors and SEAWEED CONCENTRATE. We do not force our plants to grow. We use good old California sunshine, water, nutrients and TIME (maturity). We rely heavily on organic products for insect and disease control---we also have LADYBUGS, GREEN LACEWINGS AND PRAYING MANTIS on patrol for us.  In most cases, you will find the HYBRIDIZERS NOTES below.---Thanks for looking!!

You are bidding on a NICE single fan which already has a scape.

CRUSHED CRANBERRY LACE

  (Benz)tet 28" M. Dor. (Sabine Bauer X Tet. Lavender Blue Baby)

 I could scarcely believe my eyes when I first spied this fancy beautifully ruffled 4 1/2"  purple. CRUSHED CRANBERRY LACE is reminiscent of a greatly improved Tet. LAVENDER BLUE BABY, only bigger, deeper in color and far better branched. This amazing flower is a beautiful shade of soft grape purple, with a big black purple eye, a small, but intense emerald green throat and an intricate jet-black wire edge which weaves in and out of the ruffling and encircles the petals from throat to tip. This thin black edge is further embellished by a very fine white edge, which upon close inspection is made of tiny white teeth like a fine hacksaw blade. This double edge is present on the sepals as well, something we have never encountered before. Blooms are oversquare and always picture perfect day in and day out despite heavy sunfast substance. Plants are medium large with beautiful dark blue-green leaves, and strong erect beautifully branched scapes that carry 35-40 of these fancy blooms to perfection. Fertile both ways and a fabulous re-bloomer. My first course of action when I saw the substance and ruffling on CRUSHED CRANBERRY LACE was to cross it with my best self-colored purples. We bloomed the first results last summer and to say I was pleased would be an understatement. This was our most exciting purple crop‹EVER! CRUSHED CRANBERRY LACE produced purples in every shade from burgundy to the most intense black purple and many with extreme ruffling and excellent branching was the norm.  SOLD OUT
