Compact to 3' high. Flowers change color twice as in other HOVARIA series. These start green and turn pink to cherry red, and then eventually light blue.

Please note: all in this series tend to not be cold hardy, but no zone information is given on Hovaria site.

Pale blue color in acid soil or soft pink in limy soil. New variety. Blooms very rich because of good bud development. Flower color changes into beautiful crimson red in autumn.
