Obtained as a young plant from Mill Cottage Plants, Wookey, UK, whose owner is a registered RHS speaker. This plant is a vegetative propogation, and is the only way a true plant can be got. Seed grown plants will not come true, but it is said not to produce seed. However I have had seed from it and grown a very interesting plant, crossed with two others I have, and is as worthy as the parent, but very different. I have also seen seed for sale.
It has been in its present spot for 5 years and has grown to a good sized clump, always flowering reliably. A wonderfully cupped and frilly paper crepe-textured flower.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Lompoc, California
Coshocton, Ohio
Hillsboro, Oregon
Kalama, Washington
