Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Striking double green variety kindly shared with us by Susan Schnare (We will be offering more of hers in the future) Besides having the most unusual flowers, the plant is a good grower and heavy bloomer. Grows in most well drained garden soils. Full sun is fine in higher elevation and/or cooler regions, otherwise needs a place without afternoon heat. For the front of borders, rock gardens and troughs.
