Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Prominent flower buds are lavender-pink and open white with soft green in the throat. Large, recurved leaves are very sun tolerant. This old standby has been in production for over 100 years.

By: Bloom River Gardens

This old standby is one of the best whites ever hybridized. Flower buds are a delicate pink that open to blush white blossoms containing a freckling of soft green in the throat. Large deep green leaves make this an outstanding foliage plant. Very sun tolerant. ('Madame Carvalho' x 'Pink Pearl')
