Jacob's Robe™

2008 Intro

(cv.WEKausboy) PPAF

Yes, we’re making a verbal pun on the beloved Joseph’s Coat, one of the most popular of all Climbers.  Pun aside, for many years we’ve sought to capture the same great colors on a much improved plant.  The blushing yellows, pinks & reds of Jacob’s Robe aren’t an exact match.  But the multi-color effect is even more dramatic.  It’s equally floriferous, re-blooming readily in the very first year.  But the plant shows off the big difference – more natural vigor, lusher glossy deep green leaves, better disease resistance & more hardinesst.
