KC Red

KC Red.  Seidl/Bremer.  2018.  Advanced generation lutea hybrid.  The image is not the correct color (brighter, more pink-red in reality), but the form is representative. Single to semi-double flowers of red-pink coloration.  Petals are nicely notched and ruffled along their edges.  Sheath and filaments are red, and stamens carry bright yellow pollen.  Bill’s seedling number for this plant was SH138, and it has been previously distributed under this number and the name ‘KC Red’.  In the late 1990s, Bill was culling plants in his garden and gifted the plant to a friend, Kris Casey.  Bill later saw the plant growing in Kris’ garden and decided he would like it back in his own garden.  So it happened, and Bill began to breed with the plant, only to find that it was exceptionally fertile and quite beautiful.  Flower carriage is very good, and bloom is reliable here in Wisconsin.   KC Red is an excellent plant and flower and is always in high demand for fertility and beauty.  Plants are healthy and easy growers.  KC Red’s parentage is Seidl #15 x unknown.  Seidl #15 comes from a cross of (Golden Experience x Chinese Dragon).  Ships in late September to mid-October.  AGE: Field-grown, 3+ year old graft or division from larger plants – our choice of available plant material upon harvest.
