Description
A selection from seedlings raised from wild collected seeds from Japan in 1997. The inflorescence of hot pink flowers is over twice as long as the typical species, to a full 12", and tumbles downward from stems to 15" clad in lovely triangular foliage. Later, even the seed heads transition to striking shades of pink.
