Rhodiola (Crassulaceae) BWJ7941

yunnanensis

Originating from one of my seed collections gathered at high elevation from the surrounding area of Lake Suda at 3550m, in Yunnan China in September of 2000. Where this relatively tall species to 50cm, was forming small clumps of slender bright red stems clothed in narrow fleshy leaves. Topped by a large panicle of tiny yellowish flowers, that were reddish in bud, which are retained for months during the summer. Easily grown in any type of drained soil in full sun or light shade.
