Description
Incarvillea delavayi forms a compact basal rosette of deeply divided green foliage. Leafless stalks carry clusters of deep-pink trumpet flowers with yellow throats in July and August.
Grow it in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. Good drainage around the crown is essential, especially in winter, and plants also suit raised beds or containers.
