Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Beni translates to deeply red in Japanese. This is one of my absolute favorite of the serrata family (don't tell the others). Red! Blooms begin white but quickly change to blue/pink starting on the tips and moving toward the center of the petal. Then it's RED! Blends of burgundy, crimson, blood red. Did I mention red? The darkest change we see in the nursery. Don't miss out on this one!
Beni translates “red” in Japanese, and red, specifically a darkly imbued red lacecap is what this small rounded shrub delivers. Originally collected from a wild clone, its graceful form cushions dainty flowers that first emerge blushed white and gradually deepen to rubescent shades, the rich, stop-in-your-tracks color persisting on the sepals well into autumn. With cool green leaves and ardent inflorescences, ‘Beni’ is a dynamic choice for a tight space.
