Description
This widespread mountain species is still little-seen in gardens. It has plain (i.e. unmarked) bright-green leaves which sit, unobtrusively, below a short spike bearing 1-3 hanging pure bright yellow flowers in March.
Remarkably this species, which is constantly yellow-flowered, can have white, yellow or red anthers even in the same wild populations, but they are considered the same species. Seed-raised plants of one form, seem to display all of the variations in their progeny. This offering IS of seed-raised plants from the red-anthered form, but will almost certainly contain, red, yellow and white anthered plants. We do not have any selected within this stock.
A perfectly growable montane plant that likes cool, moist conditions, and dislikes hot, dry ones. These are raised from a seed collection made in Montana, USA, some years ago.
