This
is a sport of F.J. Grootendorst
and is similar to its parent except for the color of the blooms, which
are clear pink. These plants make excellent landscape plants and are
also suitable for hedges. They do not like to be sprayed (doing so
will turn the leaves yellow) but disease is not that much of a problem.
The blooms
appear on and off throughout the summer and resemble carnations. They
have no fragrance but last several days in arrangements.
