Description
Red tinged buds open to large pink ageing to white flowers for the interesting yak-like tricolor effect. This is a dependable low grower with dark green leaves on a mounded plant. A good yak hybrid possessing year-round attractiveness. We suspect the parentage may be wrong, and this may truly be a R. yakushimanum x smirnowii hybrid.
