Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This plant has small, bright red, funnel shaped flowers that are held above smooth, green leaves. After flowering, it has bronzy-red new growth. The open growth habit does make an enjoyable plant. It is said to be tolerant of both heat and lime but will be happiest if given some shade. ('Elizabeth' x Ledum columbianum)
