Abstract

The new plant resulted as a mutation of the ‘Novaverpin’ cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 27,748) that was discovered as a chance sport while growing in a test garden at Colbert, Ga., U.S.A. Attractive light blue blossoms are formed in abundance with a propensity to rebloom following trimming in the absence of a vernalization requirement for flowering. An attractive dense compact and mounding growth habit is displayed. The stems that bear flowers are substantially upright. The ‘Novaverpin’ parent displays a dissimilar light pink inflorescence coloration. The plant is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in the landscape.
