BROTHER PETER  (Laffin 2021) 41" tall, 5" bloom, 4-way branching, 22 buds,  Tet, DOR, Midseason

                                   Fertile both ways.   $50 DF

Tall, sturdy scapes hold deeply saturated upright  purple flowers with a lilac watermark and a very bright yellow-to-green throat. Scapes are very strong, nicely branched, and hold the flowers apart so they don't crowd.  Holds color well in the sun. Does not slick.  As with many purples, petals may become slightly  more reddish purple in heat (see pictures) but most stay dark grape purple. Tall scapes have measured 48" in excellent growing years.  A very strong and dramatic presence in the garden - great next to orange flowers!  Increases readily.  Strong performer, never finicky. From two exceptionally high performing  Curt Hanson parents: Building the Colossus x Edward Abbey, it's very fertile both ways, even in hot weather.
