A cultivar from Japan that I bought from Hartside Nursery. Their catalogue says: "Large rich red flowers in autumn" Which is succinct and accurate. Shoot Gardening say: "'Beni-kirin' is a compact, mound-forming, deciduous perennial with rounded, shallowly lobed, scalloped, bright green leaves and, in autumn, upright, red-flushed stems bearing clusters of irregularly-lobed, pink flowers with varying petal lengths." Guy Maillot in France says: "Small vivacious plant to the brilliant thick leaves of Japanese origin. Flowering of mid October to end November according to the varieties and the arrival of the cold weather. Flowers doing recall the shape of the kanji dai from where does its name come[Daimonjisô]. Abundant flowering in panicles on shaft of 15 /25 centimeters of height. Inflorescence composed of 3 oval superior petals of small dimension and 2 inferior a lot stretched out. Height of 10 has 25 cm according to varieties." |
