Roscoea humeana Snowy Owl Seedling



Roscoea humeana 'Snowy Owl' is a large white flowered form of R.humeana, named by Nigel Rowland, that is derived from a collection at the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. Given that division of Roscoea can be a slow business, Long Acre Plants are distributing hand pollinated seedlings , and everyone who bought one is hoping for great things. It has yet to flower for me.
I think that I was lucky with this seedling, I have heard of others that have come up purple.
