Honky Tonk has been a reliable perennial in my garden for 6 years now, and it looks better every year.

Kedron is unique in coloring: the red-orange of the cup bleeds onto the amber-gold petals. Upon opening, depending on weather conditions, the blooms are golden orange with brick red/orange cups, the petals softening to amber gold as they mature. Kedron is also richly fragrant and an excellent landscape perennial.

A strong grower with upright blooms and excellent increase. Among the first of this color to open, and very long lasting both in the garden and in the vase.

I grew 'Professor Einstein' for 10+ years before finally removing it; no matter what sun exposure I provided for it, the weak stems would never hold the blooms upright. The first rain after the flowers opened always bent them flat to the ground.
