Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Our first offering in many years of this fine taxon with strong upright growth and incredibly shiny foliage. As the name suggests, these should have an inflorescence of hanging flowers ranging in color from white to pink, probably in late spring. The first re-introduction in the modern era. Grown from seed collected in the wild. Partially drought tolerant once established. Really great foliage on these young seedlings.
