				Kovalcsik of Michigan and registered by her in
						2019, 
						this cultivar is a seedling of H. 'Red 
						Dragon' × 
						H. 'Mikawa-no-yuki'. It is a medium size plant 
						about 14 inches high by 34 inches wide with medium green 
						colored foliage.
 The flat leaves are slightly shiny on 
						top, slightly rippled and lanceolate in shape with a 
						tapered base. Its petioles have very bright plum-red 
						speckles at the base which fade to a duller red speckles 
						at the top with some carrying up into the leaf blade. 
						The medium lavender flowers bloom from late August into 
						September on dark mulberry colored scapes about 24 
						inches tall. This cultivar bears viable seeds in green 
						pods with a faint purple striping. The 
						registration materials state: "...Leaves remain in 
						a state of near perfection from emergence to frost. 
						Elegant, draping form, rich petiole & scape colors, and 
						bright sheen on rippled leaves. Low-swaying 
						mulberry-colored scapes peek up through leaves like 
						purple dragon heads...H. 'Pebble Creek Crackerjacks' 
						honors my father. The name is pluralized because it 
						refers to both the sterling quality of the plant and the 
						sterling nature of my father. The man and the plant -- 
						two crackerjacks. He was crackerjack at everything he 
						did, and I loved him dearly. He'd often surprise me with 
						a treat he enjoyed as a boy -- a box of Cracker Jack. It 
						was always exciting to find the hidden prize. Getting 
						'Red Dragon' to set pod for me was an unexpected treat, 
						and this progeny is the prize!"  This 
						cultivar came from the same cross as H. 'Pebble 
						Creek Moon Journey'.
