eared roscoea

Overview

Eared roscoea is a small clump-forming perennial native to the Himalayan foothills. It has striking, dark green lance-shaped leaves and its brightly coloured flowers have a distinctive petal shape and decorative ears. From late spring onwards, these unusual blooms appear from their underground stems and range from creamy white to purple and magenta in colour. Eared roscoea is easily grown in most soil types and prefers a cool, semi-shaded position. Its compact, clump-forming habit makes it ideal for mixed herbaceous borders and rockeries.
