J93-3 is another
fourth generation Hulthemia, its blotch lightens considerably during the heat of summer. Here
it is seen in the fall. The blotch,
rather than having a definite demarcation of its edge, gradually blends in with
the petal color. It is from a cross of { [('Orangeade' X 'Abraham Darby')
X
'Midnight Blue'] X (
'Midnight Blue' X 'Baby Love')} X < {'Halo Today' X ['Geisha'
X ('Tobo' X 'Singin' in the Rain')]}X 'Tiggle'>.
This seedling is quite floriferous and has shown that it is possible to "lose" most of the Hulthemia prickles (thorns) as seen below.
