Native Habitat Double Peach

17 years ago

I don't know why more people don't grow this one. It has the largest, longest blossoms I have ever seen on a brug and a flush of these is so striking! I have no idea if it has ever been successfully used in hybridizing. Similiar to MEM in length.

Well here is my my single NHDP on a small plant, more buds coming on:

Last year flush, on a short plant!

Pagoda-like blossoms!

    When I visited NHE, they gave me a cutting of a double peach and I forgot if they told me the name of it. For me, that cutting became simply NHE because that is where it came from and I have had it for many years. It loves the summer heat, make that 'our' summer heat LOL.

    Both of your dbl peach brugs are beautiful. I can't grow a double peach to save my life. I've had 3 double peach plants from different people and have killed all of them. I think it's time I gave up on a double peach brug. lol

    Ruth Ann, now that is a Double Peach. Wow, wow!! That photo will have folks salivating for this one! Do you know what NHE stands for? That is a beautiful photo of a great brug! Thanks!
    Do you think it is the same one? Blossoms 19-21" long? The blossoms look the same! There is nothing else that I have run across in brugdom that looks like NH Double Peach, but I am still on my journey and have not seen all the brugs out there! Not even close!

    Brenda, that might make up for enticing me to buy those seeds!

    :)

    If I had something that fantastic, I'd grow the heck out of it and plunk it in the middle of my front yard to amaze the neighbors. (This year the honor goes to a very large elephant ear!)

    Cool beans!

    Brenda, NHE stands for Native Habitat Ethnobotanicals, the name of the source of the cutting, that's all. The other option it could have been other than double peach was Creamsicle. Because I was unsure, it forever remains a NHE noid to me. :)
