Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Unusual for its lovely shade of orange and fascinating for the refined blue veining that develops on the petals as they age. This new sweet pea is certainly one to covet. Just introduced, you can bet you'll be the first in your gardening club to grow it! Wouldn't it be something on a trellis behind blue 'Bachelor Buttons" and blue Delphiniums. Or imagine it in a bouquet with 'Blue Shift'. Bred by Keith Hammet. To 6'.
