(Hydrangeaceae)

Cardiandra × agricola 'Crûg's Elegant'

Pot Size: 1.5 litre
Price: £25.00
Description:
The second clone of our hybrids from crossing a flamboyant Taiwanese species, with a very hardy Japanese alpine forest species. A cross between two most unusual perennials, which are fundamentally herbaceous hydrangea look-alikes, originating from mountain forests. Affording the best of the hardiness of one species and the superior ornamental value of the other. With soft serrated leaves held on branching upwardly inclined stems to over 1 m tall. With larger sterile pink florets subtending the blue-purple fertile flowers on reddish stalks. Best grown in a moist coolish shady site in a leafy acidic to neutral soil, protect from strong winds and the severest cold. Flowering from August until Christmas for us, when frost free.
