Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Yellow-orange petals bordered with shades of pink to red-purple, along with a golden-green blotch on the dorsal petal. The calyx on the back of the flowers makes it look double. Quite a combination.

By: Bloom River Gardens

These flowers run the spectrum of color! Each yellow-orange petal is bordered by shades of pink to red-purple with a golden-green blotch on the upper petal. It has a medium- sized calyx on the back of the flower, giving it a double appearance. A hint of brown indumentum on the foliage is a nice addition. ('Fabia' x 'Purple Splendour')
