I have both PELE and PINK PELE, and I had some conversation with Terry =

as well, so I feel qualified to say....
PELE is very short... and the hottest orange you can imaging. A stunning
hot spot in the garden.
Based on my terrific impression of PELE, I purchased PINK PELE - taller fer=

they had listed PP in their catalog, some plants began to bloom a more =

color... they were very surprised and at one time were even considering
