Pot Size: 5 litre Price: £40.00 Description: Originating from one of my seed collections, gathered from the horticulturaly rich area of Longzhoushan, Sichuan, China in 2000. which was a selection of this species with purple backs to the sterile sepals, a character that will probably only be noticeable when growing in sun. Here it formed neat shrubs with upright stems to 1.5m tall, bearing large broadly ovate serrated thick textured leaves to 15cm long. With terminal cymes of yellowish fertile flowers, surrounded by large cream sterile florets ageing yellow, during early summer-autumn. Best in sun or partial shade in any good moisture retentive but free draining soil.
