'www.rhs.org.uk
    Used as seed parent once, used as pollen parent 5 times. Descendants' chart may be viewed at this DaffSeek site (6-6-13) http://daffseek.org/query/Desc...
    Resembles 'American Shores' but with the corona less flared and of a deeper color. Siblling to 'American Dream' and 'American Shores'. Part of the American” Series, of the breeder (Havens of Oregon).
