Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Liberated from the namesakes' garden following her demise, this age-old British treasure offers a lavish pageantry. Pearly-eyed, deep carmine petals, each donning pinkish white fringes, two irregular snowy flecks and minute, magenta speckles that glisten in the morning light. Nancy's dainty flowers dress up her tidy, glaucous blue tussock and fill the air with an irresistible heavenly perfume.
