H.  ‘THE REVEREND’*

20” E Re Ex Ev 7” It pleases us that our friend the Reverend Ed Meiser (as well as a large group of others) so admired this beauty that we’ve named it to honor him. The color is a lovely alabaster to palest yellow with lilac eye zone. The hallmark of the bloom is its wide, double, piecrust edge of lilac, outlined in white gold teeth . Its eye covers more than half of the flower.  The throat is yellow to green. Form is full, overlapped and widespread, pie-crusty, toothy on the edges. Hardy in NY State. Strongly recurrent.
