Hybrid seedling plant in a 50mm tube.
L. Pacavia
This grex was registered 123 years ago and has been re-made many times over the years. With this remake, we have chosen to use two outstanding examples of the species. Pacavia has a handsome plant habit, robust growers with straight upright growths and leaves, they bloom reliably in the summer, mature plants are showstoppers. Expect impressive flower size, strong stems of 5-7, richly coloured dark purple flowers with bold contrasting lips
