    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Named for the traditional quilt pattern of little girls in over-sized bonnets, this small-flowered glad is a warm apricot-buff with a sprinkling of freckles in its golden throat. Customers at our local Farmers Market loved it as a cutflower, and it's even better when you grow your own.
