New lorepetulum to replace purple pixie need name of plant

[sabredave]

I was at the green and growin show in greensboro nc last week and came across a booth who was show casing a new variety of lorepetulum that was supposed to have a beter root system than the purple pixie and with the same characteristics as the pixie. I cant seem to find the catalog or remember the name. If anyone knows the name of this plant that would be great

Was it Daruma?

[sabredave]

No. i have used daruma before. It is supposed to be the same size as the pixie. First time i have seen this new variety and i do not know anyone else that is carrying it., well i guess i need the name first!!!

Its a dwarf like the pixie? Just curious have you ever used snow emeralds?

I pulled Daruma off google, but I think I know what you're talking about. A local grower had it last summer, but now all I see on the availability list is ruby. I'll ask next time I'm out that way.

Ruby or bill wallace??

It is definitely not ruby, that's just the only one they currently had in stock. I was hoping they still had 3-4 on their list.

To my knowledge ruby doesn't do that well when flowering. Im not aware of any new cultivars. Love the purple pixies and snow emeralds I have sold and pushed the heck out of those. Interested in learning the name of this new one.

I have rubys and ever red sunsets at my house. I love the ever reds...deep purple foliage, nice red flowers. The ruby flowers just fine, though the foliage is not as pretty. The new growth is a nice purple, but the old growth is often deep green, and in the heat of the summer sometimes lighter.
