Medium purplish blue, slightly lighter on the falls. Surprising dark blue beards surrounded by dark red markings. Medium sized, lightly ruffled flowers in keeping with the size of the plant.

NOIR PLAISIR

Son of the excellent ‘Dracula’s Kiss’. Between black and deep purple, a very beautiful shape and strong flowers. Large and thick bronze beards differentiate it from other black varieties. Good quality branching. (Cayeux 10 89 A seedling).

NUIT SATINEE

€8.00

If you liked "Badlands" and "Black Suited", you will no-doubt also be attracted to their slightly lighter-coloured but taller offspring, with its violet-leaning-towards-black standards of glistening satin. Plentifully branched stalks gracefully carry 9 or so superbly shaped ruffled flowers... A "full house", wouldn't you say?

"Paul Black" and "Alpenview" are the proud parents of this astonishing inversed amoena and its majestic 15 cm by 15 cm flower which is dedicated to Villa Erba, residence of the famous Italian film-director, Luchino Visconti.
