Notes
A new plant to the colletion this year, I don't yet know its growth characteristics. However, the plants I saw in VCPS members' collections suggest growth is strong and vigorous. This clone was shown in the book Gardening with Carnivores and is widely grown in Victoria and South Australia. It is almost certainly a parent of the excellent cross S. flava var. cuprea x S. flava var. rugellii.
