Cherries and Cream blends a creamy softness above with a dramatic, richly colored contrast below. 34″ (86 cm), Early to Late bloom. The standards are a creamy white with heavy yellow infusion rising about ¾ of the way up the midribs. The falls are a deep plush burgundy, edged by a delicate ³⁄₁₆″ lilac band that softens the transition. Beards are bronze over purple, adding depth and warmth. (Barry Blyth, 2017).
