R. 'Purpley Pauleen' size:3 gal size

R. 'Purpley Pauleen' size:3 gal sizeHere is another R. 'Fantastica' hybrid I did a few years ago that has lovely purple edged flowers with lighter centers that glow. The foliage is an apple green color and holds well on the plant making it look full. I haven't registered this one yet, but will soon. The plant will grow to 5 ft. tall in 10 years, and blooms in May. Because of the R. 'Fantastica' genes, this plant will be hardy to zone 6.

The name in Japanese means "The wonderful place of nature"

The foliage is dark-green and lustrous on a dense full shrub

but grows over itself

The stems stay tight to the main stalk and developing into a tight columnar plant

and trumpet shaped

so it is a worthy plant to buy

This cultivar originated 1984 at Hinrich Kordes Nursery

yakushimanum hybrid with very dark emerald green leaves covering the plant completly

Give this one plenty of room

looking remarkably like blueberries

The petals contrast with the bright yellow stamens

unless continuously staked
