Pot Size: 4 litre (deep)
Price: £35.00
Description:
From La Calera Paramo to the south of Bogota in southern Colombia, a collection we made from a small herbaceous twining climber forming a congested clump of tuberous roots, from which arose slender twinning stems to only 1m tall (in the wild), with narrowly ovate to linear alternate leaves with soft hairs below. Bearing flowers of reddish-orange exteriors with pale orange to yellow interiors, in congested umbels mid summer through autumn for us. Best grown in a rich well draining soil with shade for the roots and protection from severe frost.
