Rich, dark, "Cabernet" colored buds pour open to clear red wine flowers. This dark foliage is also highly resistent to mildew. IF, on the chance you spot that whitish haze in July when the dew is thick and slow to dry off, here's all you need do: Recycle a gallon jug and funnel in 2 T. of "Baking Soda" and 2 T. vegetable oil. Fill it up with water. Shake and spray this all over plant. Repeat every week until mildew is destroyed! Shouldn't take more than 2 applications. foliage. From White Flower Farms
