Farfugium japonicum var luchuense Basho Ogi Actaea Hibiscus 'Robert Fleming' is topped
Yard notes & kiln story
Description
Hibiscus 'Robert Fleming' is topped with clusters of large 7" shiny
(despite officially being rejected by the really bright EU breeders rights officials who prefer nonsensical names)

Farfugium japonicum var luchuense Basho Ogi Actaea Hibiscus 'Robert Fleming' is toppedFarfugium 'Basho Ogi' is a little known Japanese selection of Farfugium japonicum var. luchuense. The 8" tall x 2' wide clumps are composed of odd shaped 4" long x 5" wide leaves, nicely speckled yellow. Starting for us in mid October, the clumps are topped with 2' tall branched scapes of yellow aster like flowers. Moist, rich soils produce the best plants.
