Watermelon Sweet Tarts is a combination of opposites, making her a stunning complex cultivar. Sweetly pink in color, this bitone just insists she is a sweet, lovely fluffy frivolous lady. Look out though, because this lady BITES. Heavily Edged with gleaming yellow green teeth on both petals and sepals, she shows her dangerous side. Heavy of substance, she looks delicate but has a steel backbone. Looking further, she resembles the pretty faces of the southern belles but in a Dormant, northern hardy plant. A perfect combination of sweet and tart, this watermelon beauty will steal your heart.
