Unit price perOut of stock
Compact rounded evergreen shrubs with densely white-felted branchlets. The attractive foliage emerges silvery white or tannish and this is retained as a dense woolly grayish to tan indumentum on the lower surface. The amazing flowers (mid-spring) are unlike those of any other species. They are borne in a dense and compact, rounded inflorescence and are typically colored a shade of purple which has been described as similar to “grape Kool-Aid”. One of the “classics” in the genus with stunning foliage and flowers. Best in light shade. One of the rarest species in the wild. Found only in a few isolated populations in the eastern Himalayas. These are grown from our own hand-pollinated seed.
