Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Known more for its foliage than its flowers, but it does have pretty white flowers dotted with maroon red. Now the fabulous leaves. As new growth appears it is completely covered front and back with white wool. The top tomentum gradually disappears to expose a glossy leaf. The white indumentum changes to a deep cinnamon brown as it ages.

Few plants have better indumentum than this fabulous species. As the new growth appears, it is completely covered on both surfaces with white wool that gradually washes off the top surface to expose a glossy leaf. The new white indumentum on the underside of the leaf changes to deep cinnamon brown as it ages. Charming white flowers are often dotted with maroon red. (HY, hy, Taliensia)
