Nursery contributed plant descriptions
A distinct rarity introduced by the late Sally Allen from SE Alaska. This has vigorous green needle-leaf clad branchlets with comparatively large white urn-shaped flowers in careless abandon. Classic peaty/gritty plant for a cool northern aspect in part sun with good drainage yet moisture retentive.
