Showy and long-lasting flower clusters of rose-pink (in any soil) can virtually cover this delightful slow-growing 1-2' miniature in summer; special in a container or the front of a shady border. PSh/M

This dwarf plant has lots of personality and will give you everything that its largest cousins can, but will easily fit into that small space in the garden. Pia is named for one of Dante's tragic heroines in "The Divine Comedy." Expect the flowers on this plant to be vivid carmine red with white centers against dark green foliage. Tuck it into any small space.

MOPHEAD. Syn. 'Winning Edge', 'Pink Elf'. A great shrub for a tub or rock garden! The plant is very small and compact, growing to about 18". Ball-shaped, soft rose-pink blooms are produced in early summer. This exciting introduction came to us from new Zealand and has generated a lot of excitement from our local retail customers.
