Thought to have come from the garden at Great Dixter but its source is unknown. It maybe a cross between coronarium and gardenerianum. Broad green leaves, cream flowers with a yellow centre and very scented, particularly of an evening.
Grow in fertile, moist soil in sun/part shade and lift before the first frosts. Indoors, grow in bright filtered light. Do not allow compost to dry. Divide and re-pot regularly to maintain health and vigour.
