2007 - 2008 

Seed Selections

OPEN POLLINATED

There are daily surprises and delights when the blooms begin. This listing is based on last year’s harvest but we have new plants coming into bloom every year.  If you have a special request  please let me know.  MINIMUM 20 SEEDS PER SELECTION

1

BALLARD MIX – Open pollinated seeds from a mixed planting grown from seed from Gisela Schmieman, who took over the  work of renown hybridizer Helen Ballard.  These plants represent the entire spectrum of color, from bright green to

black and include picotees and anemone flowered blooms.  The doubles are a bee’s flight away so anything is possible.

2

Green - variable spotting, generally lower and later  than others

3

Bright White - no spotting, some green flush in young blooms

4

Spotted White - variable spotting and veining

5

Yellow - variable spotting, pale buttery yellow to clear yellow

6

Pink – ranging from pale pink flush to deep rose, variable spotting and veining

7

Red/Purple/Wine - I’ve combined these most difficult to describe.  A  young bloom may start out a deep true red then age to a dusty purple.  Enormous variety of spotting, veining, frosting and density of color

8

Blue/Black – ranging from deep blue to slatey blue-gray to black

9

Picotees – variation in edge color and veining, often with red nectarines

10

Anemone, Semi-Double and Doubles - mixed colors and spotting
