    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This is the nominate subspecies from the AGS seedex. This and the above are seeded so multiple clones are available; none have flowered yet so I haven't had a chance to skim the best for myself. If you get a particularly outstanding form, be sure to torture me with a photo.
