Sounds like 'Del Norte' is the right name for the robust monster I have. The seedlings don't come true, btw. Some are pink, others white, others white w. red speckles. But they all share in the robust character. I wonder if Crocker & Kline applied the name 'Del Norte' to seedlings as well as the original plant, or just divisions.
