Pot Size: 3 litre Price: £18.00 Description: A stunningly beautiful species we collected seed of from the picturesque mountainous forested area of Oaxaca Mexico in the autumn of 2004. With a mound of distinct large Vitis-shaped rugose sticky grey-green leaves at the base of tall airy stems bearing large electric-blue long lipped flowers summer into autumn. One of the best hardy species introduced in recent year, even if I have to sing our own praises, under the name of S. vitifolia. Which is apparently only half the size of this new species, only described to science as recently as November 2011. Best grown in a well drained soil with some moisture retention in full sun or part shade. Protect the roots from penetrating frosts.
