Rhodohypoxis 'Midori'



A new one I bought last year from Edrom Nursery. I am waiting to see how it will perform in the long term.

Farmyard Nurseries describe it as:

"One of the finest of all the alpine plants we sell. Small starry pale pink flowers are borne throughout the summer. Needs a well drained soil. 7cm."

I haven't been able to trace its origin yet. It is worrying how little information gets recorded.
