Sib to Snowy Stella. A continuous rebloomer that is not yellow. Whiter than any tetraploid "white", it has a green throat good ruffling and heavy diamond dusting. 16 buds with 3 sets of scapes in my garden. Pod and pollen fertile. When crossed with other continuous rebloomers, it throws a high percentage of reblooming kids, great color clarity, high budcount, large green throats and a great deal of green in sepals as well. Likely rust resistant. This one is named for my personal theme song, "Weird Al" Yankovic's "I'm Too White & Nerdy".|d= |

| − | Sib to [[Snowy Stella]], White And Nerdy has everything you could want except a bagel form. It is one of the very few LARGE continuous rebloomers, at 4.5 inches, and may be the only one that is not yellow. It is whiter than any tetraploid "white", has a green throat, good ruffling and heavy diamond dusting. At 16 buds, it has more than twice the budcount of [[Stella De Oro]], and sends up three sets of scapes in my garden. In optimal conditions, it will bloom 11 weeks or more. It is vigorous and has excellent foliage. | + | Sib to [[Snowy Stella]], White And Nerdy has everything you could want except a bagel form.

This one is named for my personal theme song, "Weird Al" Yankovic's "[http://vimeo.com/752979 I'm Too White & Nerdy]". When I greet my new students in the fall, I tell them that I may mispronounce their multi-ethnic names because I have a handicap: I'm too white and nerdy. Even if they don't know the song (and many do), they warm up. | This one is named for my personal theme song, "Weird Al" Yankovic's "[http://vimeo.com/752979 I'm Too White & Nerdy]".
