Dr Les
This listing is for 1 tuber shipped direct from our farm in April.
Pictures don’t do this one justice. You think nothing is coming and then - KAPOW! - there’s a large dinnerplate flower mocking all of your doubts! We don’t know who Dr Les is, but their flower is one of our new favorites! This variety was introduced in 1975, making it a vintage variety worth having in the garden. The plant is closer to the 3-3.5’ size, making it a good choice to put in front of taller varieties. Larger flowers means this one does need some good staking.
Bloom Size: 10-12”
Plant size: 3-4’
Fable’s Notes: It’s a later variety at about 120 days from planting to blooming, but the flower really is worth it. Much more satisfying in person. It does not make the best cut flower - it tends to wilt and drop petals within a day or two of being picked, but it’s certainly perfect for a showy garden!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
***Tubers start shipping out in mid April unless otherwise requested. If you request an earlier shipment of your order, you are strongly encouraged to add an insulation pack to their order to avoid risk of freezing in transit. We are not responsible for weather damage during transit. All orders are shipped via USPS.***
Sometimes crud happens, and while we only list a portion of each variety into our shop at a time to try to mitigate risk of running short on supply, there is a possibility of tubers not making it through the winter (like the one year mice managed to get into our storage containers in March!) If such a thing occurs, and we are unable to fulfill your order, you will be notified for the option of a refund or store credit as you see fit. This year, we have a dedicated refrigeration unit to keep our tubers safe and at the perfect temp and humidity, so we’re hopeful all our stock will pull through without a hitch.
