Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rich lavender flowers are larger than its parent and appear later in the season. Small, dark green leaves retain their good looks throughout winter. Named for Harold Greer's mother from a cross she made many years ago.
We are very proud of this hybrid. It is a cross made by my mother some years ago, and it is named in her honor. The flowers remind you of R. hippophaeoides in shape, although they are much larger. Rich lavender flowers appear after all of the other blues are done. A very nice feature. Don't ask me how it could happen from these two parents, but the foliage and plant remind me of R. hippophaeoides, only much more compact. It does not go through the distressed appearance during winter which is often typical of R. hippophaeoides. (hippophaeoides x Subsection Triflora)
