Pot Size: 4 litre (deep) Price: £40.00 Description: A species that one has to describe with superlatives to do justice to this, one of our best introductions from the high mountains of Taiwan. A self-clinging woody climber with pale meandering stems, clothed in thick textured, slightly hairy ovate persistent (end of December here) leaves, to 10m. Bearing wide corymbs of small fluffy flowers to 28cm wide, surrounded by large showy persistent creamy bracts 3-5cm long, in July-August as seen outside our shop at Crûg. This seedling represents one of our collections with Dan Hinkley in November 1999 from the north of Taiwan at the cold climate of Taipingshan. Flowers best into the sun, with shade and a bit of moisture at the base.
