*Topguns Anita Causey
(T-1493) This is by far my most consistent and eye appealing double
picotee to date. I registered it at 5.75 inches but many flowers exceed
6.00 inches for me. I love the saturated color contrast of the cream
petals and the dark burgandy eye and edge. The yellow-green throat
finishes off the flower. Although I feel doubling is usually connected
somewhat to the number of hours of daylight and the number of hours of
warmer temperatures, this flower doubles very well both in my garden
and potted in my greenhouse. I will usually get 4 or 5 branches on
'Topguns Anita Causey' and it will re-bloom for me quite well. I
registered this flower as semi-evergreen because it leaves a small
amount of green foliage on top of the ground over the winter here. I
can’t say how it will perform further south than Oklahoma City, it is
dormant here because it emerges with the asparagus new shoots in
the spring. If you want a truly dramatic double that you will enjoy
both as a garden flower and a show flower try 'Topguns Anita
Causey'…2005
