Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Exquisite, huge, fragrant, softest yellow flowers with reflexed petals, suspended earthward with glowing deep burgundy throats on 3’ stems in early summer. I first discovered this in the gardens at Heronswood 8 years ago…that’s how long it has taken to propagate enough for sale!! A stoloniferous species that prefers sun or bright shade in cool, humus rich, well drained soil. From E. Nepal. One of our most prized plants! Almost too good to be true – breath taking! Z5
