Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A notable Poker and while not of the Red Hot variety, is emminently garden-worthy being a sumptious mellow creamsicle. Big heads of gentle tangerine age paler over correctly proportioned foliage. This gets along well with nearly everything - probably in Plant Al-Anon it is so nice!
