Long thought to be a variation of floribunda, this plant achieved and deserves species status. The bloom is much more ornate on this plant than the bloom of floribunda, plus it grows much larger and has a thicker, stiffer, more lepidote leaf. Pretty prolific, before long you'll have more than enough to share
