Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This isn’t some Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme derivative - this is something concrete you can hold in your hands and plant in your garden and watch it get bigger and flower. What about next year? It will be better with a higher yield and greater return. This floral bubble won’t burst when it blooms in Apr/May. Sun/part sun in a well drained soil. Likes to be on the dry side when established.
