This is a compact growing species with small and shiny, rounded leaves. The flat flowers are white to pale or deep pink, often with purple spots. Bright reddish-purple new growth on this incredibly widespread and variable species. Much hardier than would be expected based upon its native range in southern China and adjacent northern Vietnam. We have a huge old specimen in the garden that blooms reliably every May. Curator, Steve Hootman, was thrilled to see masses of this species in gorgeous full bloom in the province of Guangxi, China in early April of 2009 - a real highlight of the trip. These are grown from seed collected wild in a newly explored region in the northern portion of the range of this species.
