    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    I originally scored these seeds from a special interest group of the British Hardy Plant Society. The foliage is rich and full and has a very formal, glaucous appearance. The flowers stems, and there are an abundance, shoot up another 12"-18" above the plant which stands 8"-12" on its one. Great color combo of the burgundy-ish pink and the bluish green foliage.
