A vigorous hybrid that I bought from Parham Bungalow Plants in 2016. Their description says: "A vigorous, free flowering allionii hybrid with large lavender flowers." A hybrid between P. allionii and P. 'White Linda Pope' raised by Joe Elliott in 1982. Val Bourne wrote a biography of Joe Elliott in The Plantsman in which she says: "Joe Elliott was born into nursery life, being the son of another famous alpine gardener, Clarence elliott (1881 - 1969). He grew up on the family's Six Hills Nursery in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. Clarence Elliott's real love was wild-collected plants, particularly diminutive alpines. Joe Elliott later grew many of the plants associated with his father's nursery, and these formed the basis for his own Broadwell Nursery stock." |
