Pot Size: 2 litre Price: £15.00 Description: A distinct robust form of this species which we collected from Seo Mi Ty, a high forested area at that time, just south of Sapa in the mountainous area of northern Vietnam at just over 1700m. Where it grew on a moist shaded vertical cliff inside the forest, with reddened upright stems to 1.5m tall in those conditions. Bearing broadly ovate dark green leaves on very short petioles, with a broad cylindrical inflorescence of white long-tubed slender distinctly scented flowers with long curved orange-red exerted stigmas mid-summer. Easily grown in either full sun or part shade in a moisture retentive drained soil protect the rhizome from hard frosts, hardy for us unprotected in an open field to below -15C.
