Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Leaves of deep forest green with light tan indumentum on the under side make this a terrific foliage plant. The soft yellow flowers expand from reddish pink buds! The contrast of pinks and yellows give a warm sunny glow to the garden. CHOICE! ('Bambi' x ['Grosclaud' x griersonianum])
