Description
This is the Caucasian member of the mascula complex, with decorative sage-coloured, green foliage, that lacks hairs. The underside of the foliage is shiny purple-red.
The flowers, which open in April, are sumptuous open bowl-shaped goblets of intense, and quite deep, rosy-red to red-pink.
These plants are propagations from a seed-grown stock, itself raised from material originally found in the Daba Forest in Georgia.
