SMOKEY BLACK AND STAINED GLASS PATTERN = FAB KIDS
FUJITA SCALE (2005. Bremer)
(Love's Call x Paradise Lost)
hybridizer’s description:
Tetraploid. 26" height, 5.25" flowers. 3 branches & 22 buds. Mid season. Dormant. Like the varying intensities of a tornado, Fujita scale will have a different color each day. Which flower is a F4 on the scale? Some days it is a dark black red, others a purple feathered in silver and still others it is brown with a black purple eye….each variation is beautiful and all will have that wild green throat. Flowers open well in all conditions. It's pod parent, Love's Call, has been one of our best parents for purples and reds that open well and hold up relatively well in the sun. Plants are very hardy, but may produce more flowers further south. Fujita Scale is only a moderate increaser. Great plant and flower.

CROSSES ARE LISTED AS POD X POLLEN. I WILL TELL IF I SHOW THE PIC IN REVERSE ORDER.
I AM SHIPPING INTERNATIONALLY TO THOSE WHO CAN RECEIVE SEEDS. $7 for 10 wins (I give lots of bonus seeds). U.S. SHIP IS $3 FOR 10 WINS. This includes lots of bonuses.
I LOVE HYBRIDIZING ...and have no room to plant many seeds since I have moved to California. So I have bought the plants I loved for BLUE, PATTERNS, BLACKS, AND TENDRILS..and am crossing them with some of my selected seedlings (hopefully to be introduced in the near future.)
I hope you will have some fun buying some packets of unusual combinations of color and pattern and winning a Stout Medal..or at least having the excitement of that first bloom.
I will be using my own photos when possible (of course, all seedlings will be my photos). Should I inadvertently put up a photo I have copied from the web and it is yours, let me know..I will give you credit or change it.
All seeds are 2014 seeds and will be shipped immediately after payment. Seeds vary in size and wrinkling, this does not affect their ability to germinate.
Seeds were air dried for 1-2 days, passed the "squeeze" test for viability and have been refrigerated for at least 2 weeks in zip sealed bags.
PAYPAL is preferred, but checks and money orders will be accepted. Payment to be received in 7 days, unless notified. Seeds will be mailed in bubble envelopes once payment is received. To combine wins just let me know. Postage is $3.00 for the first win, with no additional charge for up to 10 wins, if won in a two week period and shipped together.
