Description

Bred by crossing both pink and blue cultivars of G. wallichianum with other pink-flowered varieties, 'Sweet Heidy' offers much improved bloom ability and a semi-trailing habit. The veined flowers briskly cover up to 2 1/2 feet of ground, repeating for months on end in full sun in northern climates, part shade farther south. 'Sweet Heidy' was introduced by Marco van Noort of the Netherlands and named for his wife. It has been extensively trialed, and found to be adaptable, dependable, and very easy to maintain.
