Donald, this is a good jersey cream and no pun is intended. Let's see what

Since you grow STOP THE MUSIC and know its Texas performance,
the ground color is definitely white in my garden. TENNISON RIDGE is
like STM, only much better, I think with its ruffles and deeper
saturation of the red plic pattern.
CC is the third introduction for me that features red on cream.
SPIKED PUNCH was the first and it has a lighter cream ground than the
others as it almost white. DRIFTING CONFETTI has more cream in the
ground color. I would say that the ground color for CC is more of a
blended cream/white, meaning it is lighter in color. The ground
color has no blue in it.
What about Texas weather?

CC was sent to the Dallas convention, but I did not see it in bloom.
It is a little earlier to bloom than the others, but I would think it
would perform well there.
