The pink flowered form of H.fulva discovered in Kuling, China by Dr A.N.Steward. He sent three plants to
Dr Arlow Stout who described and named it in 1930.
A couple of clones have been named and it is the original source of pink colour in all the early hybrids.
H.fulva can be very vigorous and spread rather widely, but I had to try this when I saw it for sale
recently. I will dig it out if it becomes a pest, but I have seen it in a few other gardens recently where
it has been well behaved.
