    There are two colorations of this plant in circulation - one a lavender and one a pink coloration. Until recently, Schreiner's was selling the pink coloration, but has discontinued it as it is not the correct one. I have both in my gardens--and the pink did come from Schreiners. There is no place to show a side-by-side picture, but I do have them if anyone is interested.
