Description
Evening Sky is a pastel rainbow that roots quickly and produces many branches. Flowers range from 2 to 3 inches, with lovely oval petals shaded darker on the left, a large golden center and a bright fuchsia band on the reverse. The 2 to 2.5 inch form presents a striking rainbow blend of yellow, red and orange stripes descending to a tiny throat and underside. Keeping quality is excellent, and the fragrance is intoxicating and sweet. With heat, the rainbow becomes strong and well defined; without heat it is a pale colorless yellow.
