Ned Roberts' Seedlings
These plants are some of the last selected seedlings of Ned's. They were dug and divided when in full bloom in Florida in 2009 and have since been under evaluation in Colorado, Illinois and possibly Canada.
This Ned seedling was selected for introduction in 2008, but that didn’t happen. 4 ½", 24 ½" Ht, maroon, 19 BC, 3-way branching in FL.
Please note the vast difference between this seedling and Long Tall Sally – one of my favorite pics!:)
This Ned seedling was selected for introduction in 2008, but that didn’t happen. FL stats: Early, 4", 21" Ht, dark purple, yellow/green throat, curly sepals, 13 BC in FL.
Definitely higher bud count up north. Extremely good substance and all around good plant. Fertile both ways.
My personal favorite among the small dark reds and purples, this image shows more red than the deep purple that my eye sees.

It was only at the end of this summer that I realized that this is BR No. 10, a Ned seedling that was selected for introduction in 2008, but that didn't happen.

One of my personal favorites of the smalls, still in evaluation up north.
