Title: giant heather-like flowers
Post by: Diane Whitehead on July 12, 2017, 03:08:31 AM

Flowering now, about 30 cm high and 60 cm across.  About 10 years old.
The owner is going to try going through her records, but I think the Forum
will be a lot quicker.

Hi Diane, this is a white form of Daboecia cantabrica. A pretty plant, my favourite of the hardy heaths.

Thank you, Matt.

I'd like to grow one.  Is it easy from cuttings, and if so, when should I take some?
