Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Densely packed trusses grace this plant each spring with ruffled flowers in varying degrees of intense red. Long, slender dark green foliage compliments it well. Developed by Vineland Station in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada so it may well be hardier than its current rating.
Long, slender foliage graces this plant with flowers of red in varying degrees of intensity. A most attractive flower and plant. It was developed by Vineland Station in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada so it should be hardier than the rating it is given. It is a magnificent new red that should be used in many gardens, both cold and warm. Superb is the word! ('America' x 'Dr. Ross')
