Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A plant of obscure origins I cannot even find a grex name, the cross favors lasiocarpa, in all likelihood this is the cultivar 'Waldgrenze' which was introduced by Mueller Nursery in Germany. A cross between A. koreana and A. lasiocarpa 'Glauca', a great looking upright blue plant. Our local antlered rats picked it for an antler rub this year and Brigitta declared war.
