Tetraploid HYBRIDIZER:Selman YEAR OF REGISTRATION: 2009 SCAPE HEIGHT: 40" FLOWER SIZE:6 inches TIME OF BLOOM: Midseason FOLIAGE HABIT: Dormant COLOR: Rich lavender raspberry bitone with darker veins above appliquéd patterned green heart throat. | GARDEN NOTES: The applique throat of H. 'Alien DNA' is what caught my attention. What a perfect partner for my Olympic Lightning Flash! I'm waiting to see the first babies bloom. 'Alien DNA' opens and performs well, except for minor thrips damage. The plant is vigorous and increases quickly despite my setting pods on it. This is a parent in many of Bob Selman's later members of the "Alien" series. |
