Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An exceptional Yak hybrid developed by Gus Mehlquist of the University of Connecticut. In late-midseason (later than most other Yaks), clusters of large pink buds open to ball-shaped trusses containing 20 or more pure white blooms. Just as attractive is the foliage, which is deep green and convex, with light indumentum below. Compact, well-branched habit. Very floriferous at a young age.
