This is a very floriferous and famous hybrid made by Lionel de Rothschild when he crossed griersonianaum with pocophorum. The result is a shrub of medium proportions with long and narrow, heavily indumented leaves and bright red flowers in late spring. It won an Award of Merit in 1948 and is an outstanding foliage plant.
