Burnt Saffron

[Charlie]

Chris, I'm super glad to hear this. The first plant of it grown from seed did not grow all that great. However, the cutting grown plants have done much better and those that shipped this spring looked very good I thought.

I have not tried to set seed with it yet. The wood is too precious still and is all used for making new plants. I have dusted some pollen from it and am waiting to see what happens with that. I was able to compare it side by side with Black Dream this summer and Cindy and I both agree that usually Burnt Saffron has the best color of the two while Black Dream has the better flower form. Both are quite nice and are the main 2 offspring of Black Dragon that have shown the blackening/darkening trait so far.

Charlie that is really great to hear that your cuttings have also done well.  I was kinda afraid that it was a mismatched plant because its been growing so rapidly and has such a nice bush.  This was a 4 incher shipped at the end of may I think,  all I can say is WOW

Yep, that looks like Burnt Saffron. Excellent growth so far!
