Southern Skies

Peachy-orange flowers cover this attractive hybrid from the late Jack Lofthouse. The plant has dark-green shiny leaves with dark red flower buds and grows into a medium sized "mounder". Some years the plant will bloom so heavily that the foliage is completely hidden.

Rare Variety – This variety is difficult to find anywhere due to these reasons
· Hard to propagate – many cultivars do not root easily from cuttings, but at a reduced rate thus making the plant rare.
· Hard to find – these cultivars are hard to find in the first place, probably because they are hard to root from cuttings
