Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A long ago hybrid of M. figo and the renowned M. doltsopa. In mild climates it reaches a narrow 15 ft or so with stems and buds bathed in coppery indumentum. Flowers are white tinged with purple-pink on the edges, abundant, and, like M. figo, fragrant with hints of banana cream pie. Best in rich, well-drained soil in sun to part shade where there is shelter from drying winds. Frost hardy to uppermost USDA zone 7 with good drainage, summer water, and feeding.
