Hellas x Pat Hart

[jimspaphs]

Results not good so far--the red one flowered last year--the spotted one this year and another one in bud.

Looks very nice.

 

[Ozpaph]

A bit disappointing given the other great Pat Hart cross and how good Hellas is as a parent

 

[Mark Karayannis]

But great culture as always

 

[blondie]

Nice blooms

Looks like the Paeony influence is coming through stronger than the Redstart. Keep blooming them. You might get lucky... In the meantime the first one looks like a keeper and worth a backcross to Pat Hart.

This outcome is not as I would have expected. But the shape of the 1st one isn't so bad.
Maybe it's better to cross the Pat Hart to one with even better shape and P. Hellas in the background like P. Mem Barbara Francis 'No2', P. Jim Mackinney 'Spectacular' or a P. British Concorde?
