Roscoea
Thrusting upward from fleshy roots late in the spring, Roscoea’s green stems are sheathed by alternate glossy foliage, while its large lobed flowers possess an otherwordly appeal. An exotic-looking genus that counts Ginger among its kin, these Tibetan and Nepalese natives appreciate a deep planting and a thick layer of mulch for winter protection.
Roscoea purpurea ‘Vincent’ (P-2297)
Each 12.25
Celebrated for its mighty stalks plus marvelous long-lasting floral display that often extends through September, ′Vincent′s sizable violet flowers are heightened by prominent drooping lower lobes, luminous milky streaks and a mulberry-infused base. Large tapered dark green leaves firmly envelop the upright stems, forging a lush wavy base with a gleaming finish. Lovers of light shade and superb winter drainage, this bushy clump-forming perennial lends late season intrigue to woodland niches, especially when cozied beside Athyrium ‘Red Beauty’ and knitted amid deciduous shrubs, such as Spiraea ‘Ogon’ or Weigela ‘Minuet’.
