Description
Soft, bright pink mob-cap flowers with deeply impressed purple nectaries, are held in clusters along short stems very early in the year – from mid March onwards.
A central Asian species which grows in drier areas in the wild but this makes a good pan plant and since 2008 we have grown it outside and it has been fine. In 2012 we had 9 flowers on our largest plant of the unselected strain (the strain Pskem can be larger still), and with relatively little attention subsequently this has risen to 14 with good cultivation..
