Full Description

From Iris and Daylilies by Tom Craig, 1954: ” As the name indicates this is a sultry version of Joppa Parrott done in dark slate and orchid grays and finely veined and stippled in a variety of rosy browns. It is finer and broader in form than Joppa Parrot and much more vigorous. It seeds more easily and has fertile pollen and should prove an excellent parent.”
