Pot Size: 1.5 litre Price: £25.00 Description: A choice herbaceous hydrangea look-alike that is a clump-forming woodland perennial, which we went to considerable lengths to collect. With upwardly inclined branched stems to 1 m or more tall with serrated leaves, terminating in sizeable cymes of pink-purple flowers, with two very long pink sterile florets on this clone. We were again given permission to collect from a population in Central Taiwan in 1996, which has subsequently become the only known surviving population, especially after the 1999 earthquake. Best grown in a moist environment in a shady site, in a leafy soil, protect from wind and severe cold. The latest flowering form for us, not unusual to be still in flower at Christmas.
