Description

From Japan (via Mikinori Ogisu and Robin White) comes this hybrid of E. acuminatum and E. dolichostemon. 15-18" stems carry sprays of small flowers with dark reddish-purple spurs and light rose-pink inner-sepals. Long, slender arrow-shaped, medium-sized leaflets are ragged edged and beautifully mottled with purple-red in spring. Evergreen.
