Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another old hybrid dating back to the mid 1800's that has stood the test of time. True, the flowers aren't quite as large as some of the new hybrids, but it's dependable and you can be sure that after most of the new hybrids coming out today are long gone, this plant will still be performing. It is a tight growing plant with good foliage and light blush-pink flowers that have a light blotch on the upper lobes.
