Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A new semi-dwarf hybrid with stunning, large, waxy-red flowers with a large calyx of the same color and no stamens. Shiny foliage with a thin buff indumentum on the lower surface of each leaf. A nice compact grower – one of the best of the new Glendoick hybrids in my opinion.
