Grayish-green foliage with crinkly-petaled flowers. At one time, we had a specimen of 'Wisley Pink', which was a wonderful plant - but it gave up after a few years. I hope that our current, seed-grown crop will be just about as nice. So far so good.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: rock garden, orchard nursery area
