Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We received this little gem from Diana Reeck of Collector's Nursery a while ago and tucked it away somewhere in a sunny border (although shaded by taller plants). Years later we "ran" into it again, as a neat, compact clump in full bloom. Luckily, the Collector's tag was still buried. There were several seedlings and subsequently we potted a few to share. 2-3/8" square and 5" deep pots.
