Grandiflora x lanata

This seems to be a willing combination, as I have several strong plants, flowering for 2 years now, always with a main flowering in June, and secondary later in the year. Perennial behaviour is obviosly inherited from Grandiflora. Plants seem to have inherited the best of the parents: Flower size is about 20% smaller than grandiflora, flowers are slightly more open and have a slightly longer lip than grandiflora but inherit a beautiful bronze tinge and the inner net pattern from Lanata, as well as the nearly 360° orientation of flowers (Grandiflora is facing all flowers within 90-120°). Everything about this is loveable, a very fine border plant for full sun and a beautiful cut flower.

1-3 show thy hybrid (three with grandiflora) 4 anf 5 the parents.
