A dwarf golden leaf selection introduced by Spring Meadow. Selected from their trials because it had no mildew, a tidy dwarf habit, tight branching, beautiful pure pink flowers and, unlike some gold leafed plants, it didn't burn in full sun. Very excellent form that needs little pruning which makes it perfect for containers. Plants in the Double PlayTM series display at least superb characteristics. PPAF
