Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Carmine-red buds open to light fuchsia-purple at the edges, with a lighter center. As the flower ages, it becomes a more solid light orchid-pink. It's a good looking plant with dense foliage. Flowers heavily even when young. (degronianum ssp. yakushimanum 'Koichiro Wada' x 'Omega')

Ruffled, ruby-pink flowers with soft pink centers. A profuse bloomer, even in youth, producing up to three buds per shoot. 'Polaris' tolerates lots of sun and poor soils. Young plants are very dense and compact, spreading with age. Late-midseason bloom.
