Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Large pure white flowers edged with a vivid pink and with a dark burgundy flair. This hybrid was released by Briggs Nursery in Washington and is a new and improved version of 'Hachmann's Charmant', but with more chromosomes. The result is thicker stems, leaves, and flowers. This also extends the blooming season. Often requested and for good reason.
