Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A dwarf with relatively large, dark pink flowers that look out or upwards rather then dangling. Early blooming.

A Fairy’s Wand for smaller fairies, this baby tops out at a cute 15”…May to July wands carry pointy petaled, deep pink flowers pointed out or slightly upward (versus the typical pendant flower of this species). Mass a few together to make a nice statement! Sun and well drained moist soil will make this happy.

Seldom encountered dwarf species of the Angel's Fishing Rod or Fairy Wand Flower. I know you want the tall one and we are working on it but for now this much rarer short one is your option. Evergreen leaves and making small clumpers with wiry stems bearing a few pinkish bells. Wind tolerant.
