Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Priceless Pink' is a mignon type Dahlia with semi-double flowers from two to three inches wide. Expect a profusion of miniature flowers with brilliant white petals with contrasting violet-pink edging from midsummer to frost on stems up to 30 inches high.
This delightful shasta daisy lives for years and produces its deep, dark, shiny foliage and enormous single white mid-summer daisies even in high heat and humidity! The three foot stems makes them a great cut flower too. These extremely easy-care perennials require no maintenance, but can cut back for compactness and rebloom. S/M
Formerly included under Chrysanthemum, and now we here it's back again?---this is the best shasta-type daisy we've grown. Blooming from mid-July through Oct--it is later than most, possibly because it has Nippon Daisy in its background. 3' x 3'
Large single white flowers with golden yellow centers; good for cutting. Tough and easy genes come as a standard detail with this model. 3 ft tall.
