Nursery contributed plant descriptions
According to Punnett, this is the cream of the crop; indeed most of the hawkweeds are exactly that; weeds (according to the RHS index of garden plants approximately 10000 different species of weeds). I find that number a bit hard to believe, but whatever the species total this is a very choice rock garden specimen that ranks very near the top ZONE 5
