Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Different ; exciting, this mounder with its brilliant yellow! feathery foliage topped by fragrant purple flowers has a vigorous cascading habit (great for groundcover ; basket) AND doesn't go summer dormant! PSh/Med PPatentAF PVR
A wonderful new mutation of C. 'Blackberry Wine'. Yellow, fern-like leaves are streaked green and erupt in fragrant purple flowers. Its cascading habit makes it an excellent ground cover and is great spilling out of baskets and over walls. It holds its foliage all spring, summer, and fall in Oregon. Takes heat and humidity!
