was listed in a seed catalog - I got the seed in 1990, grew and named and saved seed from it, sent it to Southern Exposure Seed Exchange (my friend Jeff McCormack ran it) - he first listed it in his 1993 catalog! I am astounded at how popular it has become.

Below is the listing from the 1994 catalog (I misplaced the 1993, sadly!)
