Nursery contributed plant descriptions

At first, I wasn't too interested in the painted flowers but I am more intrigued now. This spring, the white flowers had rich purple spots.
From Ernie and Marietta O'Byrne of NW Garden Nursery, Eugene, Oregon. Minimum temperature: -30 °F
Marietta O'Byrne's Painted Strain has white or cream tepals heavily spotted with red or purple. This is a great strain for gardeners who love deep, bold colour but who don't want to lose that colour against the dark, bare spring soil - the tepals come with a nice white or cream to show off the bold colours. As with all strains the exact colour and flower shape will vary. Every plant is unique. Deer resistant. Perennial Plant of the Year 2005.
