In
its home ground (China, Sichuan and Yunnan), the
tubers grow 2000 - 4000m in open situations and
woodland edges. |
This
delicate looking climber and twiner here shares
two cool, well-drained troughs with other
alpines, bulbs and dwarf shrubs. The leaves are
hard to describe but the 7-8cm., luminous white
star-like flowers are show-stoppers. |

It
twines so unobtrusively over the shrubs that only in
flower does this stunning member of the campanulaceae
become obvious and of really appealing late-summer
interest. |
