KENNESAW BLUE SAPPHIRE
Bill Waldrop 2016
(Desire of Nations x (Shirley Anne McCord x Gnashing of Teeth))
Sev. Tet. Early to Mid-season blooms. 31” tall, 3-way branching, 16 buds, 6.25” flower.
KENNESAW BLUE SAPPHIRE is a purple beet color with a spicy blue eye and a deep green throat. There is also an ivory edge on the petals and sepals where teeth often appear. I also always liked the name RED SAPPHIRE, one of my prior introductions which has just won has just won a 2015 AHS Honorable Mention Award, and I thought that KENNESAW BLUE SAPPHIRE was so special that it should likewise have a special name. Hence, the name KENNESAW BLUE SAPPHIRE was chosen. Pod and Pollen fertile.
