Info | An open pollinated seedling from H. rupifraga--this mid-sized plant radiates a solid glossy green blade that has a beautiful undulating form. A fall bloomer with long light purple flowers and it's fertile. A true must for a collector of beauty! Randy Goodwin's registration in 1996, 'Rain Forest' is "an open pollenated seedling from H. rupifraga, this mid-sized plant radiates a solid glossy green blade that has a beautiful undulating (quite wavy) form. A fall bloomer with long light purple flowers and it is fertile". This beautiful plant is quite unusual in it's form and quite rare in the trades because of it's slow growth rate. A very dark luscious green, this shiny beauty is a must for both the collector of exceptional plants and the hybridizer to extend their hosta flowers into the fall season for pollenating. |
