Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A newer introduction from James Elliott, it's one of those luscious multi-toned peach, orange, apricot and lemon flowers with a touch of cherry in the throat, thrown in for flavor. This is a beautiful flower of unusual color, good foliage, and an all around nice looking plant. ('C.I.S.' x fortunei ssp. fortunei hybrid)
