Description: One great irony that can happen to a hybridizer is to find a really good volunteer – in other words, it pops up as an unplanned “volunteer” seedling growing in the garden. R. viscosum is native to our area and it is not unusual to find specimens growing in odd places in the shade. This particular volunteer grows low and compact with a good pink flower appearing in mid July, a distinctly different pink from viscosum 'Betty Cummins'! The flowers themselves can stand up to the sun and put on a good show during summer. After controlling crosses, collecting seed, growing it on, and selecting the best for propagation, it is nice to know that Mother Nature can serendipitously rule the day. | ||||
