Wolverine

(Gossard, James) 2010 introduction

(Dragon Fang x Dragon Knight)

TET 38" MLa Dormant emo fr 7 1/4" 4 way branching 24 buds. Very fertile both ways. Seedling # JG590

Wolverine has rose-pink flowers with a yellow green throat. The edge is lined with white and gold claws, fangs and teeth. Several years ago my friend, Mike Holmes wanted to get a teeth program going, I was short on space; they had lots. They just bought a new property. I let him grow a number of my teeth crosses. Well, Wolverine bloomed and did it ever create a stir. It had outstanding branching and bud count on its maiden bloom and lots of teeth. I let Mike grow it and I got stock back later that year. Thanks Mike! But, it was so good and since Mike was keeping a fan, Polston had to have a fan also. Mike told me that he bloomed some fabulous kids out of Wolverine, much better than the parent. That excites me when I hear people get better results from my parents. Mike also told me my photo is poor, it is much better than pictured. It is very pod fertile in full sun; I got 55 pods on my clump this last year (2009). Polston told me he got 30. It has been a tremendous parent for me proven by just seeing the few kids I have bloomed. Wolverine is a break through in dormant edge breeding. Just take a look at the pedigrees below and you will see why. Wolverine besides being a fantastic hybridizing flower, is also a great garden flower. It always has the teeth, great color, branching, bud count, dormancy, and height. It has it all! ..... $200
