Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An evergreen, clumping perennial. Throughout the warmer months tall stems bear pink, funnel shaped flowers, with brown flecks on the yellow bases of the upper petals. As they brown spent stems can be removed by pulling. Plant in well drained soil, feed well. A superb cut flower. An as yet unidentified plant we came by from who knows where, interesting because of the more compact growth.
