Scarlet Meidiland® Sweet Vigorosa™ White

The most vigorous of the Meidiland family, Scarlet can
spread 6 feet or more with a height of 3 to 4 feet. Once
again, this red cousin possesses glossy disease-resistant
leaves, super vigor and full branching. The huge clusters
of small ruffled flowers enhance the bright cherry-red
color display. No pruning required. Blooms mostly in mid
to late summer. Comments: Hardy. More manageable in
Northern climates.

Sweet Vigorosa™
(cv. KORdatura) • PPAF
A more blendable pink in the Ground Cover offerings. Yet
it’s not dull by any means. The nicely sized double flowers
have a catchy white ‘eye’ that sets off each showy cluster.
It all looks great against that glossy green foliage that
typifies the Kordes bloodlines. Vigorous & clean, flowerful
& powerful—it lights up any landscape. Comments:
Nicely flowerful.

Of the Meidiland gang, white is the more manageable

petaled pure white blossoms make a good repeat show
even in warm climates. Old rose style on a sturdy plant.
Glossy deep green foliage. Comments: Hardy. Best
performer in mild climates.
