Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sensational ruffled flowers of apricot cream and pink with a real glow to them. Super foliage is deep shiny green in summer and bright, bronzy red when new, making a show in itself! Winner of the coveted Superior Plant Award. Extremely difficult to propagate. ('Dido' x 'Anna')
