Info | 'Blood, Sweat and Tears' (Dean 2000) was personally selected and named by the co-chairs, Connie Linder and Mary Schwartzbauer, of the 2000 AHS National Convention. It was gifted to each person that made an AHS national convention possible though their selfless efforts since that 2000 convention through 2009. It is a cross of 'Little Wonder' x 'Aspen Gold' which picks up its vigor and compact growth form from Mom and subtle gold tones, texture, and leaf shape from Dad. It thrives in northern full sun! |
