| Info | A real surprise here! 'Gertie' is the streaked form of H. 'Pearl Lake', nearly impossible to get since it first appeared almost 10 yrs. ago. This is believed to be the first time this plant is offered for sale! Because of its nakaiana heritage, this should be first-class pod parent. It gives a good percentage of streaked seedlings which can be blue with the right pollen parent. Very, very rare, a true prize for the collector....... |
