Ascending Sun
 tet 24" M. Dor. (Shield Of Valor X Tet Siloam Harold Flickinger) This big, flat, lemon-yellow shines across the yard like a neon yellow beacon. True canary yellows like this are now an endangered species, as the more frilly southern blends are currently all the rage. Nevertheless, this 6"+, side-facing intense lemon-yellow makes a dramatic statement in the garden, unmatched by any polychrome yellow blend! Makes large, blue-green dormant plants, very tough, but slow to increase, and requires too much cold to be grown in the deep south. Scapes are short and thick, with 18 buds at the top. Very fertile pollen; pods take persis- tence. Very fragrant. An attention-getter. $100.00 (Benz 2001)
