Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A delightful new hybrid just introduced by Dan Bones of Florence, Oregon. This is a "knockout" ("killer") for it's showy bicolor orange and yellow flowers. What a show this plant will produce in your garden, as it bursts forth in flower! The foliage and plant are great. An absolutely luscious plant; another "must have" plant!
