Description
Medium-sized, bushy, broad, relatively fast growing evergreen shrub (H 1,5-1,8 m, W 1,5-2 m). Crown broadly spherical, dense. Leaves broadly ovate (8-12 cm), hard, leathery, slightly glossy, dark green above, lighter beneath. Flowers numerous, in dense terminal inflorescence, broadly bell-shaped (4-5 cm), lilac-violet, inside somehow lighter, with green-yellow dots. Flowering period: May-June. Grows best in deep, fertile, acidic, humus-rich, sufficiently drained, but always moist soils, in a light semi-shade.
