2023 Introductions - HONKER FLATS

WILD LAND

$10.00 - $25.00

(Nels Anderson 2023) 565 M

[NA 1130] (unknown)

A wildly unique shade of medium purple-rose, with a red-rose throat marking. We grow hundreds of varieties and test lots of seedlings, but this color is totally unique. That was very evident when standing amongst a field of bloom and nothing was even close to this glowing color. 500 size, 6 inch blooms on 55 inch tall plants. It displays formal placement on long 30 inch heads, producing 28 buds, holding 9 open and 7 showing color. The florets hold up well, they are round, wide open, and have a medium substance. A wonderful addition to the 500 class, Wild Land is a fitting example, and a tribute to the work of the “late” Dr. Nels Anderson.
