Roscoea purpurea 'Wild Heart'

One of my own selections. Raised from Keith Wileys breeding lines.
A strong growing selection with green stems and leaves. The flower is unruffled, with a clean outline. Slightly darker than the typical clone of 'Red Gurkha', it is the closest to a pure red that I have selected.
