Pot Size: 8.5cm Price: £20.00 Description: It was on a visit to Heronswood Gardens, near Seattle, that we first saw this decorative little evergreen growing in dense shade under mature Douglas fir. Which turned out to be one of Dan Hinkley’s collections from Emeishan, China in 1996. A small species forming low dense mats of elliptic dark green glossy leaves heavily spotted with paler yellow-green in this cultivar. Bearing for us in January, purple-red urn-shaped flowers with purple-white mushroom-shaped stigmas. It is easily grown in a container or in a sheltered spot in the garden, in full shade where the soil cannot get waterlogged.
