If I had to name one favorite that I consider a plicata I would have to say Buster by Blyth. It is a 14 inch SDB with deep purple coloring around white falls slightly tinted yellow and lighter blue/purple beards. It does not jump out at you across the garden like so many do but it is worth going out to see. Now if you ask me next year what my favorite is it will be something else. My favorite always changes (I should have a BB bloom this year called Honky Tonk Hussy and I can't wait!).........fickle?
