| Please note the following edits/changes on two recent Monrovia plant introductions:
Ever Red™Fringe Flower
Loropetalum chinense ‘Chang Nian Hong’
One of our new plants for 2008, the Loropetalum chinense Ever Red, was initially announced as Ever Red Sunset. The word “Sunset” should be dropped and the plant referred to as Ever Red.
Sea of Gold™ Juniper
Juniperus x pfitzeriana ‘Monsan’ Sea of Gold PP #17622
A very popular introduction for 2005, the Gold Coast Improved Juniper, was originally named because it was an improvement on the original Juniper Gold Coast. However, due to the confusion created with the similar names, the improved variety is now called Sea of Gold.
