Description
Serrated silver foliage producing fiery orange – red flowers.
This is definitely the best Haploppaus you can buy with its silvery blue foliage and unusual buds. Flowering starts in spring and ends in Autumn with Flowers starting off orange and fading to deep red the two tone effect just increases its appeal. Best grown in the alpine rock garden or container in a semi shaded to full sun position. We have grown this for over 15 years and when first having been given seed it took google 5 years to figure out it even existed. We have had this established in the garden for 8 years and it is surprisingly hardy taking a lot of weather abuse.

Good Plants, quick delivery.

I bought a second one as I think the one I bought earlier may have died in the snow/frost.
