Hi Charlie,

I really love the clear yellow and ruffled edges on this CV and it looks like it is prolific.  Any of this cv in propagation line?

Hi Chris,

You see the same positive traits that I do in Heaven Scent. For about 3 years it was at or close to the top of our best seller list.

We do have both 4 inch and 6 inch pots of this cv growing now, so Cindy will notify the Request List people about it when they are ready.

As you probably know, HS inherited the ability to bloom as a single or double from parent Rosalind. Below is a photo of it as a full double.

I also like HS a lot. Its foliage is just fabulous, and it blooms a lot. I like it both versions, single and double.

I cant wait,  Ive been on the list for this cv for a while.  I almost bough a 'crimson ray', but decided to wait for heaven scent.

LOL! I'm not sure the rest of the world would have seen this similarity to Elysia crispata, Chris.... A sea slug!  LOL You must be a biologist! Still, now that you say it, the ruffles are remarkably similar. Grin

Hi, Helix,

You did surprise me, but I must confess your comparison works.

That's about as pretty and full a double as I have seen from Heaven's Scent. Like its parent Rosalind and grandparent Harvest Moon, Heaven's Scent can bloom as a single or any form of double.

Heaven Scent bloomed!!! Smiley  Its even nicer in person (as are all of the blooms) and this bloom does have a light scent, very pleasant and I love how large and ruffled the blooms are.

Nice ones, Chris!  Fragrant, too....I've never been able to figure out the how, when, and why of the fragrance from Heaven Scent but it's definitely there at times.

Sadly Heaven's scent seems to be very susceptible to spider mites and is nothing more than a few naked branches.  I am confident it will come back.  I really loved the blooms on this one.  Such a pure bright yellow.  I am thinking of ordering a few fragrant varieties to cross with HS next year and see if we can get more scented offspring. Smiley

Charlie, do you use HS to do crosses?
