| 'Basham's Party Pink' is a tall growing hybrid cultivar introduced to the nursery trade by Texas nurseryman Lynn Lowery in 1965. Blooms are lavender-pink and compete with 'Natchez' for size. Very comparable and similar in performance to ‘Muskogee’. Good performance in resistance to leaf spot and powdery mildew in LSU Agricultural Center evaluations. Cold hardiness is not as good as ‘Muskogee’. |
