A very distinctive selection by Jaime Blake and under many years of trial in the garden has never failed to wow us and visitors to the gardens alike and we are now pleased to be able to exclusively offer this magnificent cultivar for sale for the first time. Forms a dense, vase shaped clump of stems and leaves with very floriferous, upward facing flowers that have a very deep, intense orange colouration. They are also suffused with an underlying pink, which very satisfyingly intensifies as the flowers age. The flowers also have a darker central flash, creating a starry effect where they meet. With such a tremendous performer it is only befitting that Jaime and the family have decided to name this in honour and tribute to a remarkable lady Joyce Durdy, who is the sister if Alan Bloom’s wife Flora and who has, just this March reached the astonishing milestone of 100 years old.
