Description

Prized for its unusual flower color which is an iridescent salmon-pink with yellow centers. Leaves turn yellow-green through the winter. Like most Delospermas, it is a drought tolerant groundcover. This particular variety is named for Panayoti Kelaidis of Denver Botanic Gardens. It has a more trailing habit, good for hanging over an edge. This is a custom order plant.
