Oklahoma Milk & Wine
$23.00
An old pass along from Tulsa — a true beauty as the flowers are held close together for a lovely bouquet effect in late May! This hybrid is very cold-hardy. A fun historical note: the breeder of this plant, W. Herbert, was quizzed by Charles Darwin about the making of what Darwin called a “mule” plant. Herbert’s work was cited in Origin of the Species.
