central flower spike; the most glorious perfection of bloom, with a delightiully pleasing 
array of doubles. The plants grow with astonishing vigor and average from four to five 
feet in height with flower spikes up to 114 feet in length. The closely spaced florets add 
greater brilliance to the outstanding colors.
