Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Small, dense clusters of light pink flowers cover this plant from 'head to toe'. Small, glossy leaves will withstand cold winters without problems. A good "ironclad" selection.

This new hybrid is like the famous 'Windbeam', only it is more compact in growth habit. It covers itself with luscious light pink flowers from top to bottom. Its delightful small leaves will stand sun and makes a plant to be admired in the garden. ('Conestoga' x unknown)

This recent introduction (the name is pronounced man-EE-toe) represents an improvement on the well-known hybrid 'Windbeam' because it has better foliage and is more compact. The blooms are similar: they open pure white and quickly turn a good, clear pink. Early-midseason bloom. Bronze winter color. Lepidote. 3' x 3'.
