    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Bears 1" and larger starry flowers in usually dark pink-magenta, occasionally white flushed pink with distinctive bluish anthers. The leaves that come out in late fall and stay thru May/June are of thick substance. They are actually much easier to grow than we thought; just well drained soil in full sun to light shade. According to literature they bloom May-June; for us it's March-May.
