Named for William Marchant, assessment coordinator for the Douglas County School System in Douglasville, Georgia. His namesake is this exceptional new cultivar. ' William Marchant' is a break-through in lavender colored doubles. It is pristine, diamond dusted, and with potent pollen. Additionally, its fancy petal and petaloid segments, sparkle in yellow gold. Punctuating the bloom is a full yellow to green throat. Will somehow manages to be a powerhouse of a plantsman, and who excels in hybridizing, public speaking and helping others. It is an honor that William Marchant chooses this beauty to represent his name. The result of 40 years work, featuring multiple infusions of 'Hybridizer's 'Truffle', Norma Desmond', and dozens of seedlings in its background.
