A Maddenia closely related to nuttallii but typically with narrower foliage that is more strongly glaucous-white beneath. Very large and fragrant white flowers with a strong yellow-orange blotch in mid-spring to early summer (depending upon the provenance). Smooth and peeling bark. One of the hardiest of the larger-flowered maddenias - has survived outdoors in the ground for many years at the RSBG. Requires excellent drainage. Grown from wild collected seed. This is the more “typical” form (if such a thing can be said about this enigmatic species) with very large leaves and blooming in early summer.
