Details:

10-18 or more very wide, well cupped guard petals, surround a large center boss of pollen-bearing stamens. The predominant color feature is the large flares of bright magenta at the center base of petals, the color diffusing lightly out into the petals. The overall petal color at opening is blush, quickly passing to off-white, punctuated by the ring of large flares, invoking the geometric star pattern of traditional Pennsylvania Dutch barn decoration. Vigorous in growth and increase, the rich green leaflets clothe medium height stems that stand well against spring storms unaided by support. The original plant was selected in 1991 from among flowering plants at the Kalamazoo seedlings field of P. C. ?Chris" Laning along with numerous others. Specific parentage history not available, said to be one of many from Saunders Quads Hybrids F2 generation seed parents fertilized with Silver Dawn F3 pollen. Presumed tetraploid, breeding fertility not yet tested.
