From Peter Tristram .... "Owners of T. cyanea var. tricolor would be familiar with the stunning flowers but those who think ‘just another cyanea’ might be surprised at the floral show! Propagations of this species have been growing in my garden for about 15 years and usually 2 or 3 bloom each year. I often rip pups off for customers though. This form has dark burgundy leaves, others are green leafed. It’s like a small T. pretiosa with big flowers, or a large T. umbellata."
