Hybridizer's comment: A luminata chosen for its easy growth and extravagance of bloom. Soft buff salmon standards flushed pastel violet, falls with deeper rosy violet allover brushing deepest in the center, lighter by the warm buff edge. Apricot and vory hearts are accented with harmonious orange beards. Ruffled, some-what globular form. Well branched, with eight (to ten) buds. |
Hardiness Zones 4-8 for most varieties, Some cultivars tolerate colder, others tolerate warmer zones (please comment in comment box with your location if this cultivar grows well in zone 3, 4, 9, or 10.) |
Exposure Prefers full sun for optimal performance, may still bloom in half-day shade |
Water: Prefers well drained good garden soil, Tolerant of dry conditions in established plants, Intolerant of swampy conditions. |
PH Prefers Neutral to basic solis 6.1 to 8.5, quite toleranr of more extreme conditions |
Fertilizer Prefers rich conditions on relatively inorganic soils. |
