Helicopter

Mike Huben created something very special when he made Helicopter! This little spatulate spider grows like gangbusters! Within no time, it makes a clump covered with delicate little wildflower-like blooms that wave in the breeze. Readily gives up the light melon shade when used in breeding. Very fertile both ways. Reblooms until frost here in Tennessee.
