    PEARLS BEFORE SWINE X RETURN TO ELEGANCE
    Selected for all the elves and hobbits, ALBION MOONLIGHT is a unique dwarf in my garden. All wrinkled and crinkled, these extremely creped 4-1/2" flowers are very formal and round, with gently reflexed petals edged in delicate piecrust ruffling, The pearlescent color is an ephemeral and illusive eggshell through ivory, with shimmering hints of pink. A delightful subject for the front of the bed, ALBION MOONLIGHT makes a diminutive and tidy clump with superb proportions. The stocky 20" scapes display four through five-way candelabra branching directly above the low, arching foliage. Fertile both ways.
