    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    An unbelievably heavy bloomer with an upright stature that is well-adapted to windowsill or the summer container garden. Its 3" soft pink bells, often opening with a touch of salmon, then densely cluster on the tips of upright stems. It performs well as an upright container plant. It also makes a fine standard with its tight internodes and branching habit.
