Supreme Sultan is a very large flower. I have had blooms up to 10"
across, and it never falls over. I do have a number of plants that
have SS in their background and they have large flowers (not as large
as SS). These are Sultan's Honey and Artiste's Palette. Sargent
Preston is also large and so is its grandparent Condottiere.
