- Description
- Wiener illustrirte Garten-Zeitung. Wien W. Frick. jahr. 18 1893: Page 458-60 http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/52851 (translated using Google translate) The variety B. rosea floribunda, which was brought up by the commercialist E. Cappe in Vesinet in France, is interesting by a crossing of the B. pictaviensis with the dark-leafed var. Vernon. This low-lying plant reaches only a height of 20 to 25 cm, its smooth stems are bright red, bear small, almost round, shining, short-toothed leaves, and numerous rosy-violet flowers, free from the foliage. The beauty of this variety is undeniable, and it may have been a coincidence that it was raised almost simultaneously in three places.
