Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Only recently introduced, this is a rare Maddenia in cultivation. The one or two (per inflorescence) white flushed pink, fragrant flowers, are impressive against the relatively small leaves. Requires excellent drainage. A rarely offered species, these are grown from seed collected in the wild. The smaller leaves and stature make this a fine plant for containers.
