History / Story<span class="pdb-inline-current-value">Jungle Jack's source description: Beautiful 3-4" lavender rainbow with a strong, mysterious perfume scent. Purple buds explode into large clusters of deep pink, lavender and soft yellow blooms with purple edges and lots of veins. Absolutely gorgeous. Semi-compact to medium grower and good bloomer with beefy branches. The inspiration for the name shall remain a secret.</span> <div class="pdb-inline-tools"><details class="pdb-inline-suggest pdb-inline-login-gate"><summary>Suggest correction</summary><div class="pdb-inline-panel"><p>To suggest a change, please log in or create a contributor account.
