Title: Jazz Post by: Nievesgirl on November 09, 2011, 12:19:49 PM I know you used to have this one Charlie. I bought one from you ten years ago. I recently bought another plant from my friend. I will post pics once it blooms. I really like its offspring Frankie blue eyes. Is this CV still available ?
If so do you have any pictures of Frankie ? Title: Re: Jazz Post by: roadrunner on November 09, 2011, 05:48:27 PM Frankie Blue Eyes is in the Charles Black CVs photo gallery (4 photos). I seem to recall a few being offered in the store a while back. Wish I'd had the wisdom to buy one then.

Otherwise, it is a very mediocre variety - small bush, small flowers and not an attractive bush either. It does bloom well.
Frankie Blue Eyes has bigger flowers and a more robust bush but I'm now down to one plant of it after not propagating it for a few years. Pretty blue eye so should try to get it going again.

Charlie I agree with you about Jazz. Even though my bush was a nice size ( thanks to you guys :) ) It was not really vigorous or upright. I liked it because of the blooms. The one I have now is very small . Its in a 6 inch pot. I hope I can get it to look better than it does soon. Please try to get FBE going again I always wanted this one from you for over ten years but never could get it. |
