New Lythrums Add Color To The Garden
Three Lythrums developed at the Canada department of its culture experimental farm Mor den have drawn attention for advertising. Morden Pink originated as a male sterile mutant of L virga. Morden Gleam and Morden Rose cross Mor den Pink with native L alatum and show stronger color though heavy seed set shortens bloom. Morden Gleam reaches four and a half feet with large rosy pink spikes and long bloom. Morden Rose is compact with glossy dark green foliage and the brightest rose red blooms later in the season. European varieties tested at Morden offer little advantage in thrift or color. Dropmore Purple from Dr F L Skinner is a good companion. open-pollinated seed yields poorer colors. Softwood cuttings propagate most readily.
