Huge, sumptuous flowers with wide, heavily marked petals open over an extended period from early to late summer.

Around 70% of diploid crosses end up producing seeds, but only 20% of tetraploid crosses do so .....in a good year. In addition tetraploid pods typically contain fewer seeds. Finally, these seeds usually germinate more slowly ... Learn More
