Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A group of selections made for desirable garden traits, chief among them being flower color. The ones we grow produce large flowers in various colors; we've had white, shades of yellow, orange, copper, salmon, red and maroon. Plants prefer sun or light shade, good drainage and no water once established. Most grow to 3' tall, and display showy blooms over a long period from spring into early fall. Like many in the genus, the narrow, dark green, glossy leaves are often sticky. We continue to work with many different hybrids and will report on our experiences. Richard Persoff has been working in this field for some time and has produced some promising material that is being sold under the name, 'Persoff's Hybrids'.
