Description

An upright growing, compact lepidote that covers itself with a profusion of bright pink flowers in mid-May. Many popular lepidote hybrids bloom early, but 'Joseph Dunn' blooms later than most, in concert with the larger flowered elepidote varieties. Its habit and bloom make it a worthy competitor for attention during peak bloom time. 4' tall x 3' wide at 10 years.
