ALABAMA BEAUTY

Red. Loose peony form. Flowers are 2 1/2-3 in. Vigorous full upright growth. Early blooming.


GROWER NOTES:.

This is a vigorous, upright growing sasanqua that came from Tom Dodd Nursery in Alabama. The flower is a 3" peony form and a solid red which begins blooming in Middle Georgia as early as late Sept.


AUTUMN ROCKET

White. Medium anemone to rose form double.


GROWER NOTES:.

As its name implies, it grows fast. Nice white bloom.


CECILIA

Large peony form. White with a tinge of delicate pink on edge of petals. Compact strong growth. Early to mid season bloom.


GROWER NOTES:

Cecilia has a terrific bloom.


COTTON CANDY

Clear pink. Medium semi-double with ruffled petals.


DAY SPRING

White with occasional touch of pink on petal edge. Small semidouble. Full upright growth. A Tom Dodd introduction.


FALLING STAR

Single white with an occasional hint of palest pink on petal edge. Blooms to 4” with creped petals. Upright growth.


GROWER NOTES:

Full upright growth makes this white a good choice for screens & hedges.


HANA-JIMAN

White edged pink. Medium semidouble. Cold hardy.


GROWER NOTES:.

This colorful blooming sasanqua can be used as a specimen plant or as a hedge planting.


KANJIRO

Rose pink shading to rose red on edges of petals. Small to medium semidouble.


GROWER NOTES:

Kanjiro is a Hiemalis specie and as such blooms fairly late in the Fall season. It can pass for red or pink and is a good upright grower.


KELSEY BEASLEY

Red. Medium to large semi-double with crinkled petals.


GROWER NOTES:

Very large (4") bloom on an upright growing plant. Hybridized by Marvin Jernigan of Warner Robins, Ga. Lots of potential, specimen or screen.


LESLIE ANN

White tipped reddish lavender. Small semi-double with irregular petals to peony form.


GROWER NOTES:

I often describe Leslie Ann as a miniature 'Betty Sheffield Supreme'. Great bloom wins in its category if entered still a little tight. Small dark green leaves on compact upright plant.


LISA

Deep pink. Medium rose form double. Vigorous dense growth. Medium green leaves. Mid to late fall bloom


MAIDEN'S BLUSH


GROWER NOTES:

Simple, light pink bloom. Excellent full growing, upright plant for hedges.


MIDNIGHT RUBY

Dark purple red. Miniature rose form double to formal double.



MINE-NO-YUKI

White small semi-double to loose peony form.


GROWER NOTES:.

Great white bloom. Plant tends to "wallow" out rather than grow upright. Will train to a trellis or wall well but requires staking to grow upright.


OUR LINDA

Pink. Medium rose form double.


GROWER NOTES:

Of all the pinks, this is my favorite. Great bloom, full growing plant, can take pruning well.


PINK SNOW

Light pink with lavender trace. Small semi-double.


RAINBOW

White with each petal bordered red. Medium single.


GROWER NOTES:

Great interesting bloom. Compact plant but for us it seems to be more difficult to grow than most sasanquas. Once in landscape it does well.


SEBE

Dark pink with a burgundy cast. Small rose form double. Full dense upright growth. Slight fragrance. Mid to late fall bloom.


GROWER NOTES:.

Deep green foliage with striking red blossoms make this a great choice for a screen planting or hedge.


SETSUGEKKA

White. Medium to large semi-double.


GROWER NOTES:

Very good, upright growing white.


SHISHI-GASHIRA

Red. Small semi-double to rose form double. Low growing.


GROWER NOTES:

Great low growing (to 4') variety that can be used in foundation plantings. Also a Hiemalis specie and thus fairly late blooming.


SLIM 'N TRIM

Deep rose pink. Medium single. Leaves are narrow giving the appearance of a boxwood or holly rather than a sasanqua.


SPARKLING BURGUNDY

Ruby rose overlaid with sheen of lavender. Small to medium peony form with intermingled stamens and petaloids.


GROWER NOTES:

Great bloom. To make it into a hedge will require pruning & training but when in full bloom it will make all the effort worthwhile.


STRAWBERRY LIMEADE

Strawberry pink with petals tipped lime green and with a lime green center. Miniature formal double. Vigorous upright dense growth. Early to mid-season bloom.


YULETIDE

Orange red. Small single.


GROWER NOTES:

Late blooming red. Often blooms are available at Christmas. Smaller, compact grower. Asked for by name-our best selling sasanqua.
