Description

Dense whorls of slightly silver-frosted, compact leaves on short, stout stems which are topped by glorious, bright, vivid yellow flowers in June. The interior of each Turks-cap is rust-speckled especially in the throat. A stout plant with the whole seldom over 60cm here.

Tolerant of both lime and acid soils and an excellent garden plant with stout stems and a good floral display.

This is a distinct stock traceable to a collection made by the late Frank Waley in the Cirque de Gavarnie at 1,500m in 1935. It has been kept distinct and propagated in cultivation since then.
