BALLARD MIX – Open pollinated seeds from a mixed planting grown from seed from Gisela Schmieman, who took over the work of renown hybridizer Helen Ballard. These plants represent the entire spectrum of color, from bright green to black and include picotees and anemone flowered blooms. The doubles are a bee’s flight away so anything is possible.
