Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Our first offering of this selected form. This is a Maddenia with attractive glossy and hairy foliage and a vigorous growth habit. The large and showy, lightly fragrant flowers are spectacular – white with a strong rose flush - the highlight of the Rutherford Conservatory when in full bloom. The only seedling to germinate from our collection of wild seed in 2001, we will be giving this outstanding plant a clonal name next year. Requires excellent drainage and quite happy in a container.
