This familiar
hybrid, of which only one, unnamed clone seems to be grown much in California,
has a nearly round profile, growing 3-5 feet high and wide. It has narrow,
slightly wavy-edged leaves up to 2 inches long, dark green above and greyish
beneath. The broad-petalled flowers are up to 3 inches broad, purplish rose
overall with a darker eyespot near the base of each petal. Flowers are profuse
in spring and early summer. Likes full sun in well-drained soil with
occasional to little watering. Hardy to 15 degrees or less.
