Pot Size: 2 litre Price: £15.00 Description: Comprised of slender stems to over a meter tall, with broadly lance-shaped leaves turning yellow with the cool of the autumnal nights. With particularly dense terminal spikes of deep orange fruit on this selection containing the small seed, the result of the fragrant orange flowers born from mid-summer into autumn. From our 2nd joint expedition with Heronswood in autumn 2002, with Dan Hinkley and Jamaica Kincaid, in eastern Nepal. Named for the steep river valley that we were following on our descent from Topke Gola. Finding this species growing in the very deep moist steep sided valley, as we followed the Mewa Khola into the arms of particularly nasty Maoist terrorists. Height 1.2-1.5m spread 1m. Best grown in good light to part shade in a moisture retentive well drained soil. To -15C
