In March these are topped by by dense clusters of flowers. These open white the quickly turn to pink as illustrated. In the photgraph these are bright fleshy-pink with fine lines of deeper pink, netted all over the petals. There will however be some variation in these seed-grown unselected plant. This may, just, have a toe-hold in cultivation, but it is hardly known in the west and is a wonderful first time offering of what I feel will become a very popular addition to the genus.
Numbers are limited.
Untried in the gardens here, I have no first-hand experience of growing the plant. But we will be treating it as a hardy species. It will be planted in light shade in a leaf- enriched neutral soil in conditions similar to those that are known to occur in its stations in the wild.
