What is the comparative for showy?
Is it "showier" or "more showy"?

The dictionaries like "showy, showier, showiest"

All the best.

This a matter of taste more than grammar. I would use either, but I prefer "more showy".

Being a BE speaker, I'd agree with Mike about using both, but would favour the other.

Horticulturists like "more showy", too. :D
