More information

Betty Boop is a character from a popular U.S. cartoon, and the cultivar bears the same name. The flowers are semi-double and open rapidly from almost black buds. At first the blooms are bright yellow with broad coral margins; later the yellow lightens to white and the coral edges shift to crimson. The stamens brown quickly.
The flower has a cream-toned center with carmine-red edges; with age, the cream approaches white and the carmine deepens. Blooms are weather resistant. Each flower has about 15 petals and reaches approximately 8 cm in diameter. The scent is faint, midway between apple and anise seed. Flowering begins early, with repeat flushes continuing to the end of the season. Flowers appear in cyst-like inflorescences and open sequentially over several days. The plant is compact. It requires attentive care and can be affected by black spot.
