This superb variety is double with perfectly shaped petals of a gorgeous rich lilac colour. A rich pink area at base of the petals gives the corolla a lovely pink glow and the sepals which are pale pink on the upper surface and rich pink on the underside blend into the petals. White acorn shaped buds surprise you as they open up to this astonishing colour transformation. This semi-upright variety is a good all rounder as versatile as the sportsman himself.
