branched flower panicles

Special thanks to Hines Nurseries for allowing us to offer these

It remains to be seen how much summer heat these will tolerate

The flowers resemble fireworks or literally bombs bursting in air

I fell in love with this sport of Hosta 'King Tut' (the opposite of Hosta 'Nefertiti' ) at Hans Hansen's former Minnesota garden

Pyrrosia subfurfuracea Red China Edimentals branched flower paniclesPyrrosia subfurfuracea 'Red China' is an outstanding, garden worthy Asian native (up to 6,000' elevation in Bhutan, India, China, and Vietnam) tongue fern that came to the US via the former Chen Yi Nursery in China, and was subsequently named and introduced without species identification by the now defunct Asiatica Nursery. In the garden, Pyrrosia subfurfuracea 'Red China' forms a tight clump of 15" long, stiffly upright dark green, evergreen fronds.
