Linda, Sgt Pepper has no antho foliage at all,it's a normal green color, the antho part is often seen on the shoulders of that pink heart.

Here is the link to the person who bred it and some pictures.His name is Jason Hayes,but is best known as Tollie.

Hope that helps and yes I do know Tollie as well as Blane and for sure I know the variety German Red Strawberry as well.

Carolyn, who also notes that one of my original seed producers, there were 4 that go back to the early 90's, I had to add 3 more b/c of so many seeds to be produced 2 years ago, did seed production for it last summer and will be SSE listing it.I was sent some seeds and gave some to Rob,who is local,and grows my seedlings for me and hopefully Freda tends to them. I've heard nothing but excellent comments for it,so here's hoping this summer is a great one and I can see it and most importantly taste it,which is the main reason I've grown tomatoes for so many decades now..
