Rating for this plant:
A wholesaler called Aline Fairweather has it for distribution now, and it doesn't have PBR on it - don't know if it will have at some point. Fairweather are in Beaulieu but send plants all over the Country. The flowers are large and a bright Orange-Red. It flowers after C. Lucifer is finishing, so makes a good successor! H. 75cm.
