A. pulchellum 
bluish foliage with pale-pink flowers on 6” to 8” stems; blooms May, June. 
A. warleyense 
a hybrid of great merit and the very best of the Aethionemas. Dark 
bluish-green foliage with stems shaded deep purplish; intense rose flowers 
produced in such profusion as to entirely cover the plant; 6” tall, a long 
bloomer; in May, June. At first glance often gives the impression of a mini- 
ature Daphne cneorum. We cannot recommend this plant too highly.
