An early hybrid from Elizabeth Strangman with showy lavender-pink flowers with darker middles in spring. Striking foliage. E. dolichostemon x E. leptorrhizum. 30cm.
Difficult to describe as the flower colour varies considerably from sun to shade! In shade it is a dull brown-purple, in sun rich reddish fading to yellow spur tips. Big flowers to 4.5cm across on stems to 45cm. Good soil in shade.
