Bordeaux

Bordeaux is a sport of Stokes Dwarf discovered by James Pittman at Flowerwood Nursery in Loxley, Alabama, in 1988. The term sport refers to a genetic mutation in a plant; such mutations are often selected and further cultivated. Bordeaux is the trademark name for the patented cultivar Condeaux, which was selected for its purplish-red new foliage.
