Nursery contributed plant descriptions
'Milky Way' appears to be another variegated form of H. sanguinea. There is little information about it or its origins. So far, it's been a good grower in the nursery containers, faster than 'Snow Angel'. The sizes I've listed are my best guess based on other variegated sanguinea types.
