Tricyrtis formosana v. grandiflora ‘W-Ho-Ping Toad’ BSWJ6905

A large flowered variety which we collected in a restricted area near Hualien Eastern Taiwan, with Teng-Lang Yu in 1999. So distinct that we have finally relented as the flowers stand out for months by their sheer size, a much larger flower than any other we grow. Forming a lax much branched plant with many upwardly inclined widely opening funnel-shaped flowers to 6cm across heavily spotted purple-red, with yellow-tinged throats, on leafy stems to 75cm long from late July to November. Named for its whopping sized flowers, but pronounced in an Asiatic fashion.
