Roscoea 'Lemon Guardian'



A plant I bought recently from Hartside Nursery. Their label says:

"A recent selection with lemon yellow flowers sometimes marked with mauve. Early summer."

Growing in a pot in the greenhouse it has been floriferous but not particularly vigorous. Hartside also offer a 'Purple Guardian' (which I don't have) and I imagine they are both their own seedlings, though I haven't been able to confirm it.
