I originally got 'Stanford Scarlet' back in the 1980's, from Jim Archibald, when the Plantsman Nursery
closed, and it has grown reliably in the garden ever since, through some surprisingly harsh winters.
The thing it really hates is dry summers. In his 1986 catalogue Jim Archibald wrote: "Origination at Bloem Erf Nursery in S. Africa, his has proved the hardiest in S. England. Maybe derived from W. beatricis with orange-0scarlet flowers on 1.5m stems. Well-drained sunny corner." |
