Amarillo Star

Amarillo Star. Anderson/Tetzlaff. 2022. Parentage unknown. Before registration, the plant was known as “Yellow Breeder Plant”. Blooms early-midseason.  Generally SEMI-DOUBLE but also produces many DOUBLE flowers when mature. Light yellow, 1 bloom per stem, 6 inches in size (15 cm). Average of 3 carpels, greenish-yellow, sparsely hairy. Stigmas red, normal anatomy. Pollen-bearing stamens, filaments yellow. Staminodal disc consists of a few projections, greenish-yellow. Highly fertile both ways, presumed tetraploid, good breeding potential. Light fragrance. Strong upright growth to 33 inches (85 cm). Mechanical support is not required. Glossy green foliage stays healthy until late autumn. Vigorous growth and rapid increase produce a high stem count in comparison to most other herbaceous hybrids. This, along with well-shaped, round buds, offers good cut flower potential. The cultivar name is based on the Spanish word for yellow, reflecting the clear yellow color of the flower. Premium divisions ship late September to mid-October.
