Description
Time and time again you will see the name of this plant in lists, and almost as frequently you will not get the real plant as most horticultural stocks are either untrue or mixed! We know of one producer who grows a true stock of authentic material and these are from his stock, flowered here, verified and genuine.
This is the largest flowered of the speciosus forms, the open blooms can be 10cm across. Deep violet flowers on violet tubes contrast with deep orange stigmata in October.
Highly recommended. Selected by W. R. Dykes and introduced by Barr & Sons. A.M.(RHS) 1945.
