Hi Jamie,

According to the AVSA database, Edee's Rosebud Trail is suppose to have variegated leaves with a double pink flower. I have had this plant for several years and it did, initially have double pink flowers. Now, what you see is what you get. Neither flower is a double pink and, in fact, they are both singles. To add to the mystery here, the two different flowers are on two different crowns of the same plant. I have rooted some small cowns over the winter. I will just have to wait to see what kind of flower is produced.

I am attaching a picture of the same plant from two years ago. It looks more like a double pink flower. I love a good mystery.
