Nursery contributed plant descriptions

These plants are much tighter and more upright growing than the plants that are grown under the name R. impeditum in the U.S. They are desirable, heavily budded and flat growing plants. The petite, mouse ear leaves are bronze in winter and plum flowers are held in trusses of up to 4. Should be grown with at least some sun to maintain the very tight growth habit.
