"One of the most enchanting of the Cottage tribe," the Scheepers catalog gushed in 1929. A true broken tulip, it opens with "the most lovely flushes and pencilings of pale to deeper yellow and pinkish lavender to rose" and then matures to a lace-like tracery of purple on white. Our friend Betsy Ginsburg was so enchanted she wrote a time-travelling detective story exploring how it got its name. Late, 16-18", zones 4b-7a(7bWC), from the Hortus.
