Agapetes 'Ludgvan Cross'

Shrubby with arching upright branches to 3’, small huckleberry like evergreen leaves with new growth blushed generously with red. Surreal dangling tubular cream flowers in waxy clusters June August are intricately etched with layers of horizontal zigzag rose red bands – gorgeous!! This blueberry relative enjoys moist acidic soil and good drainage in bright shade. Local rhododendron aficionados tell me this is hardy to at least single digits.
