Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An unusual primary cross between two little-used parents (roxieanum x anhweiense ). This attractive foliage plant has long and narrow, pointed leaves with recurved margins. Compact trusses of white flowers with reddish spots in mid-spring. Rather like a more easily-grown and vigorous form of roxieanum . An AM and FCC winner from Windsor.
