A very floriferous selection of the hybrid T. (cominsii x violacea) raised by Dick Fulcher
at Pine Cottage Plants. It is a tall hybrid, the role of the diminutive T. cominsii is not clear. Writing in the Bulletin of the AGS in 2015, Robert Rolfe says: "... a cross between T. cominsii and T. violacea bred by Dick Fulcher... This one reaches around 35cm and repeat flowers if the old stems are cut off at the base once they are spent. Distinct in its dusky purple buds and mascara-smudged eyes, it is reasonably hardy if planted in a sheltered border or a deep trough in full sun. Division after flowering (use a pruning knife, and reduce the onion scented foliage by at least half) is the best means of increasing stocks." |
