Rh. 'Ebony Pear'
Rh. 'Ebony Pear'

Rh. 'Edwin O Webber'
Rh. 'Edwin O Webber'
Deep purple with a broad yellow streak on the uppermost lobe, the flowers are carried up to 28 to a truss. An upright bush growing to 2.0m+. (October)

Rh. 'Fireman Jeff'
Rh 'Fireman Jeff'
As the name suggests, 'Fireman Jeff' has striking deep red flowers in trusses of about 10 that appear double due to the huge calyx. It can be an ungainly, leggy plant unless some shaping (pinch out the tips) is undertaken when young. Grows to about 1.25m. (October)

Rh. 'Flora's Boy'
Rh. 'Flora's Boy'
Bright red flowers have a wax-like texture, flowering early (and sometimes caught by the frost, so site carefully.) Although 'Flora's Boy' is a reasonably compact bush growing to about 1.25m, you may need to tidy it a little from time to time. (September-October)
