Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Groenekan's Glory' has rosy-lilac flowers with yellow eyes. For the size, the flowers are quite large. It is a heavy flowering Juliana hybrid from Holland, and is a strong grower. Culture: Grow in light shade and a fertile well-watered soil. In cool climates, full sun is acceptable if the soil is moist. If too hot and dry, the plants will yellow and go dormant over summer, but usually leaf out again in fall. Best suited to northern climates, it could well be difficult for southern and western gardeners to keep them happy. Propagate by division after flowering.

Rarely offered selection of this very hardy and extremely garden-worthy group. Lots of pink flowers in spring. Creates mats and is easy to divide the rooted crowns to make more. Part sun to shade suits this best.
