    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A lovely creature with a long history in horticulture; a plant introduced from its Asian origin hundreds of years ago via the silk road. Also a favorite from Sean’s childhood garden. Several fragrant, 1” flowers with a yellow-orange trumpet are produced in late November but certainly by January. For a sunny spot with good summer baking. Frost hardy to the bottom of USDA zone 8.
