A member of the Gesneriaceae (African Violet family) native to the China/Vietnam frontier where it grows on mossy cliffs and as an epiphyte in trees. This has narrow leaves that are glossy and deeply toothed. The glossy flowers are white with a purple flush. Very new to cultivation. We grow the various different species in moss-lined orchid baskets so the creeping stems can emerge from the sides and bottom. This has survived outdoors frozen solid for a week in a hanging basket – amazing.
This hybrid features softly hairy, quite large foliage with very large blue-purple flowers with a white throat. One of the most spectacular of all the Primulina hybrids - and no, it was not named after our admittedly famous Nursery Manager.
A member of the Gesneriaceae (African Violet family) native to China where it grows on mossy cliffs and rock faces. This is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a basal rosette of softly hairy leaves featuring white marbling in the veins providing a stunning display of variegated foliage. The flowers are borne upon short upright stems and are pale blue-purple and white in color. A striking plant for a container, terrarium or shaded rockery.
This is a distinct species native to Guangxi, China where it grows on mossy cliffs and rock faces. This is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a basal rosette of softly hairy, long and very narrow leaves with deeply impressed veins. Secondary rosettes of leaves are borne on spreading short stems so that the plant slowly creeps to form a dense mass. The flowers are borne on short stalks with lavender-blue lobes and a paler tube. A striking plant for a container, terrarium or shaded rockery. This taxon is known from only one small population in the wild and is considered critically endangered.
A rarely offered or cultivated hardy evergreen fern with softly hairy and entire (not "ferny") linear foliage. This is a slowly spreading species with elongating rhizomes that will form a small-scale groundcover with time. The fronds are very narrowly linear (almost grasslike) and less than one-quarter inch wide and three to four inches long. This species is native throughout much of China and into Taiwan, Japan and Thailand where it occurs on shaded and moist rock faces and as an epiphyte. A great specimen for container gardening, rarely available anywhere. A collection from SE Asia.
A rarely offered or cultivated hardy evergreen fern with softly hairy and entire (not "ferny") linear foliage. This is a slowly spreading species with elongating rhizomes that will form a small-scale groundcover with time. The fronds are linear and less than one-half inch wide and three to four inches long. This species is native to low elevations in Taiwan, Korea, Japan and northeastern China (Jilin) where it occurs on shaded and moist rock faces and as an epiphyte. A great specimen for container gardening, rarely available anywhere.
