Notes:
Purchased 05.19 – Felley Priory Gardens. Flowered beautifully in the following Spring but had to water regularly as tends to dry out quickly in small pot.
Remarks: I first encountered this plant in a Worcestershire garden, a decade or so ago and put it on my virtual wishlist. Was thrilled to find one to purchase last year. It has lived up to all my expectations.
