6 1/2 inch dark mauve with a blueish purple eye and edge. The petals pinch and sepals curl making FAT TUESDAY a great parent for hybridizing blueish and patterned eyes with edges in tet unusual forms. The scape height is not as tall as I would like, at 29 inches it has 4 way branching with 20 buds. An early to midseason repeat bloomer that has evergreen foliage. Fertility is not a problem with FAT TUESDAY as it will set pods with almost any pollen.
