Oh my, you dark and swarthy BEAST you! This loverboy really knows how to charm ANY onlooker into TOTAL submission! Not to subtle about it either... the big pig, flaunting himself as he does with such vigor and size... WHO could resist, especially in earlier in the season, when we're all SO desperate for huge and RICH flowers on grandly tall (and ridiculously branched/budded) scapes? Velvety mysterious self is to die for... and such deep lavender-purple eyes, how mesmerizing! A little heavy on the hair product perhaps, as such rigid ruffles surely can't be "natural", ya think? I don't know, but with such tall and stately look... he's workin' his fine wares from sea to shining sea, for sure! VERY popular plant, and in spite of his name... has mothered a LOT of fine kids already!

Simply put, this plant is INCREDILBY solid... both in habit, AND performance. The flower consistency is amazing, but even moreso, the plant itself is one of the best "rebounders" I've ever come up with... transplants SO readily, he just doesn't miss a beat! In fact, the scape photo is on a sales double fan... that had just been divided/lined the previous very late Fall. Ridiculously pod fertile. Lateral branches bifurcate. Indeed, this is one FINE plant!!! I really wish you could see this hottie in situ, where his tremendously burly nature REALLY comes to LIFE. Reviews have been nothing short of outstanding on this hardy handsome gigolo, from the tundra to the Gulf! GET ONE!!!

2022: Sells out every year, but VERY luckily managed to barter for some back this year - so get 'im while he's in town, or he'll likely be eloping with someone else (you know the type)!!!
