From India, Borneo and other warm spots in the Far East, this is another wonderful Bat Flower. With long (two feet or more), narrow, dark green, lance-shaped leaves, in summer it bears umbels of fascinating deep purple-red flowers, some of which are trimmed with eight inch long whiskers. To describe them with morphological accuracy would take far too long; suffice it to say but you have here a curiosity. 4 ft. Packet of 15 seeds.
