Nursery contributed plant descriptions

As above but these are grown from seed collected well outside of the main range of the Himalayas which, until recently, was the only place this species was known to occur. The very first introduction from far to the south-east of the known range of one of the “classic Himalayan species”. If the name is any indication, this should be a showy form of this yellow-flowered species. Found growing with R. rex ssp. rex so should be quite hardy.
