Considered the overall best chocolate leaved aspera form.
Large saturated bronze foliage and large effective flowers on ultimately
a tall, upright shrub. I have found it benefits from some wind protection .
Well worth the effort. These are cuttings grown from the original plant found by Tom and Maurice in Yunnan. (I was present and Tom Hudson and Maurice Foster have a good eye and are two of the finest plantsmen of our time). As such a special plant to me.
