Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Dark pink buds open to a medium pink flower with a striking, dark pink-red center. As the rest of the flower fades to white, the darker center stays the same, creating a showy contrast of color on this lovely, dark foliaged plant. (['Fancy' x degronianum ssp. yakushimanum] x 'Coronation Day')
