Nursery contributed plant descriptions

First appearing are buds of cameo pink which open to a huge, upright truss of very pale pink that soon becomes pure snow white. Wide handsome leaves grace the sturdy plant. Part shade gives the best flowers and allows them to develop to their full splendor. ('Standishii' x griffithianum)
