Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An interesting and beautiful “linking” or intermediate species between these two admittedly closely related genera. This has urn-shaped, bright white flowers with strongly contrasting red corolla margins followed by pure white “blueberries”. Shiny and deeply rugose tiny rounded leaves on long arching, hairy stems. A staff favorite and destined to inspire one of the world’s greatest selling earrings when the appropriately skilled artisan can be located. Great in a clay container or moss-lined basket.
