Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Broadly-funnel shaped, wavy-edged flowers in shades of purple-red and red, with black-red spotting on the upper lobe. A unique Hachmann hybrid.

By: Bloom River Gardens

A Hachmann hybrid with amazing flowers in shades purple-red and red, with black red markings on the dorsal lobe. These broadly-funnel shaped, wavy edged flowers come tightly packed in a rounded truss, that is perfectly balanced by the deep green shiny foliage. Magnificent! (Torero x Erato)

From all reports to date, this tough plant has yet to find a cold climate it does not like to challenge. Coral buds explode to vibrant red trusses in mid to late May flower. This late season performer is a show-stopper with glossy dark green foliage contrasting with full trusses of deep red. A compact grower, Trocadero, presents a mounded silhouette in the garden.
