At Greer Gardens we have all become fond of ‘Ramapo’ for its pleasing foliage color changes throughout the year, especially favored are the dusty blue new leaves following a shot of growth. This hardy dwarf can be grown in sun or partial shade, although in full sun it will maintain a more compact form. It is well suited for use in a low border or rock garden. Outstanding! 3-6'', 6-10'', 10-15'', 15-21''

It’s the kind of plant you can depend on year after year. The flowers are deep red-purple with a most interesting eye. When the flower first opens, the eye is green gold and little by little it becomes red. It is an interesting contrast with the purple!

The leaves are long and narrow, a rich green and somewhat shiny. It gives an added texture to the other green leaves in the garden. Actually, I question if it actually is the above cross, which would make it an azaleodendron, but more likely another form of ponticum ‘Cheiranthifolium’. Though the above parentage would say that occidentale was the seed parent, I doubt it was and in actuality ponticum was, and that seed grown from it resulted in another of the many narrow leaved forms of ponticum.
