Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Abundant wisteria blue flowers cover this plant each spring from head to toe. The leaves, from its augustinii parent are a lustrous green throughout the growing season turning a light bronze color in winter.

By: Bloom River Gardens

This is the best of the R. augustinii type hybrids. It has wisteria blue flowers which are very abundant on a plant that has the best foliage of its type. The leaves in summer are lustrous green and in winter become a light bronze. A good looking plant all year, but in spring when it covers itself with blue there are few plants that can match its beauty. It is upright growing, yet compact, a plant that you can't help but enjoy wherever you plant it. (augustinii 'Lackamas Blue' x 'Blue Diamond')
