Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Like a sibling of hardy glad Nymph, Prins Claus sports similar fan shaped lower petals with bright pink accents. In addition, the watercolor splotches are edged in orange, adding a snappy contrast that works beautifully with golds, oranges and apricots. This slender, winter hardy plant seems to pop out of nowhere and there is suddenly is - adding an unexpected splash to the border. Love it.
