Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Possibly the most garish plant we grow, this plant forces otherwise magnanimous people to take sides. Ask any two people here at the nursery and you're likely to get two different answers about whether it's a keeper. We leave it to you to decide whether the cream and brick-red foliage with accompanying orange-red flowers is the stuff of dreams or of nightmares. Plants grow to 12-18" and do look striking combined with Uncinia uncinata and Veronica 'Corrine Tremaine'. Hardy to 20F.

Undeniably eye-catching gold fan-shaped foliage with maroon-russet banding. Forms compact plants with red-orange starry flowers.

One of the most exciting of the fancy leaved Pelargoniums in years, this small shrub-perennial reaches only about 3' with leaves, scalloped and only about 3" wide, marked brick-red, orange, and chartreuse, and orange-red flowers. A fine container plant especially where other oranges or maroons are used in the garden. Usually reliable in USDA zone 9, but where temperatures fall below the mid 20s ºF cuttings should be taken in mid fall. You know the rest.
