Details
June Sinclair is sometimes called the Species Queen of the West Coast, but every now and then she loses her head and makes a hybrid cross.
But wouldn’t you know... the hybrid came out looking like a species. Pink to white blossoms on an elegantulum–looking plant. Blooms mid-May here in central NJ, a couple weeks later than most yak types. Beautiful foliage with thick cinnamon colored indumentum under the leaves and tomentum on the new growth.
