Description
A small species but with very intense colouring packed into its miniature conical flowers, which are mid to deep violet becoming very deep in the throat contrasting with the small conical boss of golden yellow anthers.
Makes an excellent display in a small pan in a loam-based compost, or in a sunny, well drained site outside.
