One of Keith Wiley's red flowered selections of the species introduced in 2017. His label says: "Dark red flowers opening from purple buds for many weeks in late summer. Green leaves on dark red stems. Best in partial shade." Hoo House Nursery write about the Sultan Group: "Red, purple or lilac flowers up to 45cm (18in) from July to September and growing 30cm (12in) wide. Prefers retentive soil in light shade. A surprisingly hardy member of the ginger family which comes from the Himalayas. This strain was developed by Keith Wiley of Wildside Nursery in Devon. Late emergence is followed by quick growth into bushy clumps. Very exotic looking when pot or container grown." |
