Hybridizer notes:
[(Virgil Earp x Sue Brown) X Tetra Peppermint Delight] 28” MRe. Emo. Nofr. Ev. 5 ¾”. 8-way branching (5 laterals plus terminal W). 50-55 buds.
Capturing the color of VIRGIL EARP, the branching and bud count of SUE BROWN and the size and dominant eye of Tetra PEPPERMINT DELIGHT I knew from the first time WALTER KENNEDY bloomed I would use it extensively in crossing.

What I like most about the Tetra PEPPERMINT DELIGHT seedlings besides the size is the clarity and saturation of color. WALTER KENNEDY possesses the richest red color only to be dominated by a huge even deeper velvety red eye and an intense dollop of green in the throat.

WALTER KENNEDY throws red eyes in every base color from red, orange and white. A good breeder and a superb flower. Fertile both ways.
