Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This pixie queen is an "exquisite shade of lilac-pink, almost old rose" (The Garden Magazine, 1917), but what really sets it apart is the rich tapestry of deeper rose that ornaments its falls. Plant it where you can enjoy that exquisite detailing up close, or pick lots of bouquets! Fragrant.
