Standing 8-10 foot tall, ‘Cardinal Wyszynski’ will add vertical interest to your garden or landscape. Very free flowering, initial blooms come from the previous seasons growth in June and July and sets forth a repeat bloom again in September. ‘Cardinal Wyszynski’ received the Golden Medal at ‘Plantarium’ in 1990.
