Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rarest of the rare, and gorgeous to boot, 'Moon Moth' has large pinwheels of purest white accented with a showy staminal column covered in yellow pollen. We just love it, and while not hardy for us, we keep it over winter in a dormant state in our cold greenhouse-a cellar would do just fine. A heat-lover, supply regular water.
