Trecanna Hybrid

Pot Size : 9cm

I've been growing this Trecanna hybrid on for a number of years - amongst many other new varieties, it stood out. 'Cornish Copper' bears large coppery-orange flowers with reflexed petals, held on purple stems late in the season, often flowering well into the Autumn. The petals are long and narrow, slightly narrower at the base with a burgundy blush. The leaves are narrow and pleated and and the habit is 'wandering'! The wonderful colour prompted me to name it after the many copper mines that used to fill the countryside of Cornwall.
