We still think this is the best of the pink V. tomentosum varieties. We got our original cuttings from Connie Hansen, Lincoln City, OR. The lovely pink flowers are backed by deep purple new foliage.

Leaves in spring and early summer have a bronzy-pink flush, and both leaf and flower petiole are shades of rose. These pink tones are further enhanced by the pearly white flowers tinted pink on the edges. Place in partial shade where summers are hot.
