Product Details
Some books would suggest that this plant is not hardy, we have it growing in our woodland garden and its been there for three years and down to -16C. Near enough evergreen, the new leaves rise in early spring and a second flush in late summer. These are deep green with a purplish tint and very glossy, borne on rigid stems which also hold the flowers. Flowers are broadly tubular and hang pendulously at around 1 and a half inches long. Colour is purplish-brown, with a bit of green.
