  • Posted by Polymerous (South San Francisco Bay Area - Zone 9b) on Dec 2, 2022 4:08 PM concerning plant:
    Per an email from Mike Sutton, in response to my query as to (unexpected) white on the falls:

    "Yes, it is 'Doubleday'...fall rebloom can vary a little from spring bloom. 'Doubleday' actually had white showing in the falls when we grew it in CA, especially on rebloom flowers."

    (Re)blooming in early December 2022 in Saratoga CA (zone 9), with noticeable white on the falls.
