Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Red buds open very light yellow with wavy edges and a red flair deep in the throat. Glossy foliage also has wavy edges which compliments the flowers.
Very wavy lobes on these exquisite flowers, red buds open to a soft blush color with yellow dorsal flares. Flowers have a yellowish pink calyx, red spotted. The frilly leaves are well complemented by wavy edged leaves. Foliage is glossy creating a lovely effect with the lighter flowers. (Nancy Evans x Pirouette)
