Carina (Saunders 1944) Herbaceous Hybrid. Early Midseason to Midseason. Semi-double.

Many brilliant, near scarlet petals cupped around the small yellow center, flower grows to a large globe when opened indoors. It has the most petals of the Saunders 'Lobata of Perry' reds, splendid cutflower, the petals prone to soften in high temperatures out of doors. Medium tall, vigorous, prolific; the foliage shuts down midsummer in our typical Midwest heat sun and drought holds better with light shade and supplemental moisture. Presumed triploid, but has useable fertility. Item 0088. $18.00
