Cosey Someone was kind enough to send me Hy Whitewings this year for my efforts in hoping for a cream or white with pink or lavender collarette, with dark foliage. It’s foliage wasn’t as dark as my H.S. First Love, but maybe it was in a less sunny spot. I mostly crossed it with Teesbrooke Audrey & a little with H.S. First Love (First Love is single, but my only other dark foliage option to cross it with.) Will be interesting to see what the seeds give me!
Next year I’ll have Bee Happy, which the Swan Island website says has dark foliage (though pics from someone who grew it in Collaratte Corner, were not showing black foliage, more like what Hy Whitewings grew for me as, with the darkness showing mostly on the stems. I will try a sunnier spot for them next year.)
I’m wish I could source Dream Seeker, which is a collarette with dark foliage, but I don’t know how that’s possible here in the U.S. (bred by Keith Hammett.)
If you are not able to source Hy Whitewings & are interested, I’d be happy to see if it produced enough tubers to divide, and pass on the kindness that was shared with me. 😊
I’m new to the forum, and am having difficulties adding a picture at the moment, but will try to remember to once I figure out how.
Best way to contact me would probably be my email: L.S.BSNSSM@gmail.com
