Pot Size: 4 litre (deep) Price: £30.00 Description: Our seed parent for H. latifolia is grown in a polytunnel to ensure a good supply of fruit, but the bees have carried the pollen of another species on this occasion, from the neighbouring plant of H coriacea. As far as we know this is the first time that Holboellia hybrids have been offered for sale in the UK. The flower colour should be between green and purple, with a strong scent, followed by sausage shaped multi-seeded edible fruit, when pollinated by another clone. Meanwhile the foliage should have less leaflets (3-5), but larger and even more leathery. Best grown in a sheltered site out of freezing winds in a fertile well drained soil with some moisture retention. Closely related to and similar in habit to Stauntonia.
