    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    From Plantsman Dan Hinkley, this fine selection displays leaves about half the size of typical species, with very narrow leaflets, often tinted red upon emergence. The leaves only to 5-6" in entirety, the plant a graceful 5-6' but can be kept smaller. But wait, there's more. Also, not prone to mildew as others of the species. Sun to dappled shade, summer water where applicable, upper USDA zone 7.
