Comments: This new introduction flowers earlier than many varieties presently on the market. Its foliage is dark green and gives the plant a healthy look. It fills a need for a smaller growing plant that can be used where space is limited as with garden homes. It still need several years of widespread distribution over the South before the final verdict is available.
