B&SWJ2281 Collected in northern India this form has spikes of gleaming yellow flowers over the red flushed leaves on red-purple stems. 30cm. Good soil in part shade, mulch well.

Proving hardier than expected this form of Cautleya cathcartii seems to thrive in cooler conditions here, full sun is too much for it so at least some shade is appreciated.
