Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From the parentage you can tell this plant is going to be gorgeous in yellow and coral tones. These deep red buds will open to a buttery yellow inside and deep salmon outside. A long calyx is buttery yellow with deep salmon accents and coral red spots. Nectaries are deep red. Absolutely striking! (['Nancy Evans' x{'Whopper' x 'Brandt's Tropicana'}]x 'Whitney's Pumpkin')
