A fuchsia with a difference, and memories of the boys in ballet costume. The long white buds open up to a beautiful single bloom of a unique shade of lavender blue. The pure white sepals curl up and over like bows of ribbon or a ballet pose, producing a fascinating and eye-catching basket, bush or a standard.

The harmony of colour reflects the sister’s harmonious musical voices.
