    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Erica's strong leafy stems taper delicately into long two-toned racemes of lavish red buds and small tightly packed pale pink flowers with prominent darker stamens. Opening from the base up, the slender wands bend and curve, adding a playful air to the impressive carriage below. Display this graceful Veronicastrum with Selenium wallichianum's white umbels, and the rosy plumes of Miscanthus 'Positano'.
