Lapageria rosea 'Tierra del Fuego'New in my collection in 2006,
flowers are a large well formed red but I can find no further information. Like all Lapageria it needs cool moist
acid soil in shade, absolutely hates direct sun for any length of time, although
the top of the plant will be happy if the lower part is shaded. The flowers are waxy bells
and it is in flower from
July through to March. Due to its flowering period and the fact
that new growth can be frost damaged it needs a sheltered place (min
-8c) or grow it down the shady end of the conservatory. |
