Picture of Cinderella right before hurricane Ike. She was pulled out of ground, stripped of blooms & foliage from the winds off Ike. I've replanted her and she appears to be making a fast come back.....foliage is starting to peek out again.

Cinderella, when she arrived in New Orleans from Germany at the first part of the year, sometime in April, was a cutting of about one foot long, or a little longer. Very fast to root, and seemed to love our hot & humid climate. Right before Ike she was about 5 to 6 ft. tall looking like a small tree, and "tree" top was heavy with small buds.

What I like most about Cinderella other than she is a very hardy brug, is her fragrance. The first bloom that opened filled the evening air with the most exotic fragrance I've ever smelled! You'll want to grow her near an out-door living area.

Cinderella's color is a beautiful hot pink that appears to have a mother-of-pearl overlay. She is really a pleasure to grow!
