Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The first introduction of a recently named new species (1997), this is a relative of the familiar R. racemosum differing in its strongly recurved and ciliate leaf margins. The seedlings are quite distinct in appearance with gray-blue leaves and many with flower buds already in their young lives. Said to be “purple-flowered” but so far only pink and white have been observed.
