Nursery contributed plant descriptions
A bit of a botanical anomaly, this so far nameless cross, done by both Calvor Palmateer and Martin Grantham, has produced upright perennials with blue-green leaves and tubular flowers exhibiting shades of pink, orange, and even a little mauve. They have been non-seed producing clumpers in the garden and reliable for several years now, happy with bright light and a bit of summer water. Frost hardy to the bottom of USDA zone 8.
