Neutral Monocromatico On Jun 7, 2004, Monocromatico from Rio de Janeiro
Brazil (Zone 11) wrote:

This is a vigorous hybrid between C. sasanqua "Narumi-gata" and C. reticulata "Cornelian", mixing up characteristics from both parentals. The flowers are big, semi double, pink to magenta, with a cluster of yellow stamens in the middle. Flowers show up in late autumn, and it is said to tolerate the zone 7b climate.
