Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A rare plant in the wild but easy and excellent in the garden, there is some question as to whether it is actually an ancient escape and not really native to Wales. Flowers are similar in color to N. hispanicus, this is the real thing wild collected not far from Jim and Jenny's home.
