E. grandiflorum ‘Mt. Kitadake Purple’ (Cc. 950031)
Large, intensely rose-violet flowers are held above richly colored foliage. White highlights along the outer edges of the flower resemble crisp white piping. The muted red tones of the early spring foliage later fade to a rosy band at each leaf edge, encircling a light green center with a slight rose blush. The small leaflets are fringed with long white spines, likened to white eyelashes by one of my more enthusiastic customers! 6-7” in bloom, second flush to 10”.
