Laboratory comment: Darm Crook added, this form was grown from RHS seed exchange where it was listed as wild collected. It is typical in all ways to the type except for the colour, a very dark ox-blood red. It also appears to be a little more vigorous then the type which may imply hybrid status

Propagation:
