Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This collection by Joshua McCullough comes from a species endemic to the Siskiyou region of southern Oregon, this clone found growing at the edge of a bog and quite possibly possessing some hybrid vigor. Spreads quickly offering even more of the late spring/early summer nodding flowers, deep orange fading to reddish with petals only slightly recurved. Provide a sunny spot for best flowering without too much compost. Tolerant of both very wet conditions and some summer drought. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
