ER QUIAO, «Bellezze gemelle». Le gemelle Quiao, due famosi personaggi della storia e dei miti della Cina del periodo dei «tré regni» (220-280 d. C.), hanno dato il loro nome a una delle cultivar più note e ricercate, la cui caratteristica principale è che la stessa pianta produce fiori rossi e, più o meno parzialmente, bianchi. Precoce nella fioritura, con profumo leggero, stradoppio.
