Description:
From our joint collection with Heronswood from way back in 1995, on our 1st full expedition with Dan Hinkley, in eastern Nepal. Named for the ridge we first trekked along, finding this species growing in a wide colony, just before our steep ascent to The Jaljale Himal. Comprised of slender stems to over a meter tall, with broadly lance-shaped leaves turning yellow with the cool of the autumnal nights. With dense terminal spikes of deep orange fruit containing the small seed, the result of the fragrant pale orange flowers born from mid-summer into autumn. Height 1.2-1.5m spread 1m. Best grown in good light to part shade in a moisture retentive well drained soil, protect from the severest frost. Hardy to -15C for us.
