    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Divisions from a batch of Asiatic Fall blooming hybrids that we selected out the best light bloom forms. These are real nice and I'm here to tell you that it pains us to sell them. Mat forming and deciduous and making lots of new crowns, this has grand 2"-3" sky blue trumpets. Rich, moist and acidic.
