Killigrew

Description

Killigrew has a 97 mm flower in a double-triangle form, with a bright yellow perianth and a bright orange corona that pales toward the base. The spreading, broadly ovate outer segments overlap by half, while the narrower inner segments are slightly inflexed and concave, with wavy or incurled margins. Its lightly ribbed cup has a straight, loosely frilled mouth, and the flower blooms in mid-season. Historical commentary described the plant as very tall and exceptionally vigorous, with rapid increase and notably persistent corona color; the flower is also recorded as sunproof.
