Although a lot lighter blue than any picture I have
seen in any catalog, BREAKERS (Schreiner) has always performed with perfect
grace here in Phoenix for me during the past 10 years of growing it. I have
grown this cultivar in pure clay (caleche) soil, pure potting soil in pots, as
well as light loamy sandy soil, and this variety never fails to
bloom. Of course, when it was in light loamy sandy soil, it performed
the best. From one rhizome being planted in fall last year I received
two bloom stalks this past spring. The blooms are light blue, but
have a shimmering look to them. A little bunchy, but otherwise nice bloom
sequence and long lasting large flowers. Breakers tolerates extreme heat,
and poor soil.
