TET 47" Midseason Dormant emo fr 10" 3-4 way branching  15-18 buds. Fertile both ways.
Red Viper has bright  fire engine red flowers with a green throat ..Flowers are Unusual formed cascade. As you can see in the photos, form is variable between unusual formed cascade and crispate. It can also meet the spider ratio sometimes, but was not registered as such. Color is much like the pod parent, HOLLY DANCER, very sunfast. Bottom photo shows how nice it looks at 2pm, hottest part of the day. In the spring it a has super nice blue green foliage, very resistant to spring sickness. Red Viper brings the genes of TETRA HOLLY DANCER, a dormant Warrell introduction to the tetraploid level. Red Viper has been a great parent for passing on the dormancy, ufo form and great plant habit into its offspring .....$150
