I've had some Historics for many years, but have added many more over the past couple of years. Some, I obviously need to give more time (especially those that haven't bloomed yet!).. Some are good old standbys, and some really surprised me. I like my plants to not only have a flower that has merit, but also have good form and be garden worthy.
So here are a *few* standouts this year.
'Confetti' - very elegant form
'Cherie'- this is really very sweet
'Mme. Chereau'- flowers are miniscule compared to moderns, but very charming anyway.
'True Delight'- beautiful form. I can't take a picture of this that does it justice. Graceful, elegant.
'Father Rigney'- deeper and richer than this photo.
Yellow NOID- what can I say? It's already re-blooming.Very vigorous.
'Orloff'- makes me think of cinnamon sprinkled on something..
'Alcazar'- I could see this one in mass plantings. First year in the ground and seems vigorous.
