SUMMER RADIANCE

(Betty Wilkerson, R. 1996) Sdlg. E31-1RE. TB 36", E & VL. Bright chrome yellow self. Yellow beards. Should have a been registered as a rebloomer. It falls in the rebloom category as a REPEAT bloomer. It is one of the first to bloom in the spring and then sends up more stalks about 3 weeks after everthing else is done. These late stalks are usually outstanding in both form and branching. Every fan will produce bloom stalks leaving the clump looking bare, but fall rains produce more increase to carry on to the next year. It is both pod and pollen fertile.
