Charmcaster
(Gossard, James) 2015 introduction
(Navajo Pony x Emerald Starburst)
Diploid, Scape Height 36", Early Mid season, Dormant, Nocturnal, Early Morning Opener, Fragrant, 9" Bloom, 3-4 way branching 18-22 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer. Unusual Form is Variable Crispate-Cascade. Very good rust resistance. Northern Hardy.
Flowers of Charmcaster are dark maroon purple with a darker near purple black feathered eye zone and a very green throat. Charmcaster, named from the Ben -10 cartoon. Just one of many named from that cartoon. Picked that name because it is so magical. One of my main problems using emerald starburst is that it makes kids so saturated with substances and color. A good thing, but not good for broken patterns. Charmcaster is a pattern by AHS definition because of the feathered eye zone. But I like flowers like my Zebra Power, which have broken patterns. Just look at my pedigree of patterned flowers in Charmcaster. What's interesting is in cool nights it loses some of saturation and bingo, the pattern shows. So the pattern is in there. Thus knowing this fact, it makes for a great parent. See cool night photo below. Charmcaster would also be great to cross with color changers as well.
