Blooming today in a part of the garden where it was
never planted is what I believe is PLUM WINE (J. Weiler '86). I've grown
PW for many years, but never anywhere near this part of the garden. It has
cropped up -- a nice clump of it -- crowding the other cultivar
which belongs there. 12 1/2" tall, with three more stalks following the
one now blooming. It has PW's distinctive red-purple-based foliage.
Curiously, the long-established clumps of PW (as well as those of WHAT, AGAIN?)
have not rebloomed this year. I can only guess that they need
thinning.
While checking photos of PW to confirm its
identity, I noticed something odd, though. The registry's description of
PW says the beard is "dark red violet". But, as may be seen in the
attached photo, the beard on this one is definitely blue -- and so
are the beards on the photos of PW posted at Dave's Garden (except for the
topmost photo, which I don't think is really PW). The beards of Plum Plum,
a parent of PW, are blue, but its petals are narrower and its color not as deep
as PW.
Does anyone have PLUM WINE with red-violet
beards? -- Griff
