'Sable Song' (Dominic X Scarlet Orbit)
'Sable Song' (Dominic X Scarlet Orbit)
The black-reds have long intrigued us as they have a bold, sultry impact in any landscaping scheme. From its initial bloom, 'Sable Song' has held our attention. Its husky scapes carry up to 27 well-placed blooms, which open in such a sequence as to provide a long bloom season. The large flowers have wide petals which recurve, giving a very round presentation just a few inches above the wide, lush foliage. As a fairly early season cultivar, its blooms open readily even on cooler mornings. The color is a plush, black-red with a slightly darker eye and a very nice green throat. Of heavy substance, the flowers hold their color well. Readily fertile for both pod and pollen, 'Sable Song' has produced some very fine blacks of even further elegance and ruffling. Vigorous and hardy, forming compact clumps canopied with sable bloom.
