    Product Details
    A really unusual herbaceous perennial here which we have found to be fully hardy at 200 metres in the Scottish borders.
      Coming from Taiwan and nearby parts of China, it is one of only a few hardy rhizomatous gesneriads in the world. Leaves on our clone are purplish and hairy to some degree at around 10 cms long or slightly more and maybe 4 or 5 cms wide. These are held on rigid fleshy stems to around 40 cms high, again purple in colour.
      The flowers are the main attraction, tubular open mouthed like foxgloves but the inner is bright red. These plants do have a reputation for being hard to flower. Apparently where there has been success, it's been when they've been kept quite wet through the summer months and with a good root run if grown in pots.
    Edrom Nursery specialises in a range of plants which will grow in our climate here in South East Scotland, we try to grow plants which could be considered rare or unusual. Many of these are from China and Japan but we supply plants from all over the world. These include plants from the genera:- Gentiana Meconopsis Lilium Pleione Daphne Adonis Allium Polygonatum Podophyllum Iris Oxalis Narcissus Mitella Picea Pulsatilla Ramonda Prunus Primula Trillium Rhodohypoxis Rhodohypoxis Salvia Salix Erythronium Hepatica japonica Hylomecon Impatiens Leutkea Kirengeshoma Maianthemum Mazus Paeonia Penstemon Rhododendron Saxifraga Scutellaria Sebaea Teucrium Soldanella Veronica Ypsilandra Vancouveria Viola Athyrium Dryopteris Cardiocrinum Caltha Carex Codonopsis Convallaria amongst many others.
