Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Best New American hybrid was awarded to this fine compact plant. That is even more significant because judges seem to usually go for those big flashy hybrids. It's not so unusual when you consider what a neat showy plant this is when in full flower. The flowers are a bright cherry red and give the plant a glowing appearance. Small, glossy, deep green foliage covers the rounded plant.
