Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This selection has loose medium-sized rosettes of green leaves with bright red tips and bases.

By: Phoenix Perennials and Specialty Plants Ltd.

Pretty sweet house leek with tomato-orange new spring leaves that turn bluish-green by summer. Flowers are small, pink, and star-shaped and held up by very attractive dark red stalks. In fall, as if you haven't been impressed enough, the rosettes turn scarlet red and last through winter. Full sun for best color. Drought tolerant in well-drained soil. A vigorous clumper. Frost hardy to USDA zone 4.
