Rhodohypoxis 'Candy Stripe'



Very bright pink with a variable white stripe on the tepals. I bought it from Edrom Nursery. Their catalogue says:

"Pink and white banding in the flowewr on this new cultivar."

Far Reaches Farm say in their catalogue:

"A floriferous hybrid with good-sized pink flowers that makes a definite statement en masse - you have to like pink a lot or this is not for you. Subtly pale stripe on the midrib or keel of the petals is just a sweet bit of sugar frosting on this eye candy. Quickly makes a dense little clump with lots of late spring-early summer flowers. Similar and may be the same as 'New Look'."
