Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A long blooming Cranesbill with blossoms that change color….open as a creamy pink, and then develop a lavender/blue band on towards the petal edges, traced with deep wine veining. Flowering begins in June and carries on into August. 12” tall and wide.

Fans of 'Rozanne' and 'Jolly Bee' will love the stunning new 'Sweet Heidy.' The flowers have white-centres surrounded by pink that fuses into blue all overlaid with dark veins. Very floriferous, 'Sweet Heidy' will repeat bloom from spring until frost. The habit is both mounding and spreading. Great in hot sunny sites, borders, containers and hanging baskets. Bred from crosses with blue and pink forms of G. wallichianum. Extensively trialed and found to be adaptable, dependable and easy.

This could be named for our dear friend Heidi Eisenhour of Jefferson Land Trust fame who is sweet as can be. It's not though but we still pretend. Sprawling wallichiana type with profuse pink-lavender flowers with a white center. Great trailing over a large container or wall. PP19533
