DERVICHE TOURNIER

Two tones of pink: purplish pink standards and peach pink falls, paler in centre, with deep red-orange beards. Large flowers with gentle ruffles, good growth.

An elegant descendant of the excellent "Crowned Heads". Light blue standards and snow white falls with just a touch of greenish yellow near the sunshine yellow beards. Particularly attractive flowers with little ruffling. Vigorous growth.

Violet-purple, a bit darker on falls. White spray around the white beard tipped violet. It is a vigorous grower and it can rebloom at the beginning of autumn.

Excellent variety with dark violet standards marked with white in the centre and pure white falls with a clearly drawn dark blue-violet bordure 1cm wide. Very floriferous with 8 to 12 buds.

This new and luscious combination carries numerous elegantly ruffled flowers (11 on average) which feature medium-sized standards. The nearly horizontals falls of amaranth, with borders which turn to a light pink copper tone, are nicely echoed by bronze-coloured beards. We are pleased to have named this exquisite variety in memory of Madame Tardivier, former director of the Jardins des Tuileries at the Louvre.
