Description
This is an old clone which was especially dear to the late Michael Hoog. It was originally sent to his father at Van Tubergen in the early 1930’s by the firm of Georg Egger in Northern Persia, near the city of Tabriz – in what is modern-day Iran. It has been maintained in cultivation by the Hoog family ever since and this is authentic stock.
This is an especially large flowered and floriferous form of T. sylvestris. Despite having survived in cultivation for over 70 years this has only recently started to increase and we do not have it available either regularly, nor in anything but small numbers.
Offered for the first time 2009.
