Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A cute little semidwarf plant from Tony, narrow leaves with a creamy central stripe streaked and flecked with green. We have Black Capped Chickadees and occasionally Boreal Chickadees in winter but I'm a little shaky when it comes to Dixie chickadees although I have heard they are sexually promiscous and polyandrous.
