Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Jester lives up to its name in the garden and works best when contrasted with a solid background be it a wall or foliage or when planted on mass. The best color is during the late Winter into Spring when the tracks color up and reflex slightly. This is a sport of Safari Sunset (so is Ebony) and shares many of its tough characteristics.
