' Lynda et Rodney' is named honouring Lynda Windsor and Rodney Davey, two hybridizers/nurserymen in Devon UK. The foliage is very dark red.. nearly black if planted in full sun. The stems of 'Lynda et Rodney' are somewhat floppy or even can sometimes suffer with Blackleg (a bacterial or fungal disease that causes the stems black).
