Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the lovely cultivars of the sturdy A. megapotamicum, this with yellow buds that open to pale yellow flowers fading to white against blushed sepals. To 8' or so, with dark stems and many, many flowers during the season, almost year round unless cold calls a temporary halt. Sun to part shade with mulch and overhead protection for best wintering over. Resprouts easily if cold damaged. Frost hardy in upper USDA zone 8.
