KENNESAW CROSSFIRE
Bill Waldrop 2016
((((Red Skies Over Kennesaw Mountain x Glory in Red) x Fear Not) x Tet. Uncle Bryan) x ((Spiney Sea Urchin x (Heartbeat of Heaven x Johnny Cash)) x Mort Morss))).
Dor. Tet. Early to mid-season blooms. 27" tall, 5-way branching, 31 buds, 5" flower.
When I first saw KENNESAW CROSSFIRE blooming in the garden, I knew then that it would be an introduction. Its red color was strong, and then there were all those white teeth. Here is how KENNESAW CROSSFIRE came to have its name: About 300 yards behind our garden there are about 960 feet of Civil War breastworks. Still today, these breastworks remain undisturbed. I just thought that the name KENNESAW CROSSFIRE was a good fit considering the battles that were fought right here practically in our back yard. Garden visitors voted for KENNESAW CROSSFIRE to receive the prestigious 2015 AHS Junior Citation Award. Pod and pollen fertile.
