of this plant has a white base with a purple edge, increasing towards

'Kohaku' An interesting and eye catching plant, a
prolific flowering plant with a very lax habit, its spread is as much 1m.
and must be grown over the edge of a raised border for best effect.
The flowers are very unusual, they are large and bell shaped and give the
impression of being chunky, the flower is cream and is covered
with maroon oval spots, small at the tips of the petals becoming quite large
at the base of the petal where they overlay a lovely deep yellow.

ex washfields nursery A very tall vigorous plant
with large wide dark green leaves, it has the most beautiful delicately shaded
flowers. It has dark anthers and a red spotted stigma there is a great difference
in the size of the two types of petals, the three thin petals are long and
narrow, white with a small amount of colour at the tips and slightly spotted
at the base.The wide petals are a very dark purple blue at the tips, slight
fine spotting at the base. This is a good garden plant but needs room to
sprawl.
