Rhodohypoxis 'Pintado'



A large flowered upright form, the flowers open pale pink and then darken to red.

Tale Valley Nursery say (2015):

"A very distinct cultivar introduced by Allan Robinson from the USA. Large flowers of light pink flushed with red/maroon edges. A strong grower for us and one of our favourites."

I bought it from Blackthorn Nursery and their label says:

"Ex Alan Robinson, ex the States. Very similar to 'Confecta' but colour a little darker and flowers fractionally larger."
