From the Graton garden of our own Candace Saxman comes this delight which blooms dusky pink in her garden. We once believed this to be the well-loved lacecap called Blue Wave, one of a trio of lacecaps first developed by Lemoine in 1902, which for a long time were the only lacecaps grown outside Japan. Yet, futher study has led us to conclude it is different. Large sterile florets can develop rich, gentian blue coloring in acid soils, but are usually marbled in color. The petals are rounded and tend toward a powder-blue or cloudy blue hue in acid soils. Description Courtesy of Vintage Gardens.
