Maria Stewart, formally of Dover Nursery, in Sandy, Oregon named this hybrid. Dark pink flowers with an accent of apricot on a compact, dense plant. Foliage is typical yakushimanum with its dark green, glossy leaves. A heavy layer of indumentum and a dusting of silver indumentum on the newly emerged leaves. Choice in every way.
