Rodgersia podophylla 'Crûg Colossus' BSWJ10909
This clone originates from a small plant we collected as we were
leaving the rich forests of Aomori in the north of Honshu in 2005.
Primarily selected for its dramatic size, which is not that
uncommon in that area, of at least 1m across, the leaf composed of
five leaflets. On growing this plant on in our small shaded stock
field we soon realised the foliage was also blessed with a colourful
flush of reds throughout its growing time of the year.Arising as red
even pinkish shoots through all shades of red to bronze over the
season. Even the inflorescences are flushed pink with us.
Roscoea purpurea f. rubra 'Gurkha Redstem'
Is a cultivar name we are applying to plants that we have obtained
from cultivation as ‘Red Gurkha’ with red-brown stems, that we
have increased by division. As the name ‘Red Gurkha’ applies to
both red and green stemmed plants of this form, we thought it
appropriate to allocate a name to this form with red-brown stems.
