'Arabian Princess'
|
'Arabian Princess' is a new seedling under development at HVH. It is the daughter of 'Creme de Cacao' and 'Moon Madness,' and seems to have inherited many of the better traits of both parents. The flower is 6-8" across, fully overlapped, and opens flat with very little reflex or cupping. We love the mix of dark browns and purples in this one - suggesting an exotic flower of the desert. The bush is strong, upright, and shows off unusual leaves that come from grandparent 'Key Lime Pie.' 'Arabian Princess' has large, three-lobed leaves, a quality that we have come to associate with strong, vigorous bushes. This leaf form and the wonderful mix of dark colors in the flowers make this a new variety to remember! To be released from HVH in 2010. |
