More information
An award-winning miniature cultivar bred by the late Chris. The blooms are red with a bright white centre, bearing cherry spots on the upper half of the petals and creamy-red margins. Over time, the cherry hue fades and suffuses the petals completely before they drop. The compact shrub reaches 30 cm and is clothed in green, glossy foliage. Wonderful News can be used to edge flower bed borders or grown in a container. Also given as a gift. (C&K Jones)
