Curt Hanson's 2005 Catalog said:Neither distracted by superficial details nor quibbling with the bourgeois folderol of the latest fad, this gentleman of sophisticated manners and taste is confidently expressed in precise candor and eloquence. Dapper and impeccably tailored, suiting his gallant stature, this ARROGANT BASTARD is a self assured 6-1/2” full-formed flower of classic elegance and commanding garden presence. The color is a full-bodied burgundy with a small green heart. Cavalier and debonair, these masculine plants have sturdy 44” tall, erect scapes with three and four-way branching well above the foliage. Combining the Kirchhoff reds with my purples, ARROGANT BASTARD is fertile either way and is named in the spirit of Rhett Butler.
