Nursery contributed plant descriptions

As the story goes, Harry Elkins admired 'Potters Wheel' years ago in old man Ingwersen's garden, and managed to talk him into digging a clump (Harry can be very persuasive). In any event he gave us a piece a few years back and we have been carefully dividing stock every since. Here is your chance to acquire pure stock of this legendary plant; most of what is offered under this name is seed grown and not clonal.
