The seed of this very attractive Agapetes, possibly a new species, was collected from a steep road cut in the mountains, north of Mayodia Pass en route to Anini, Arunachal Pradesh in Northeastern, India with Dan Hinkley and Shayne Chandler in 2018. In situ, this evergreen shrub with dark green, waxy leaves, lighter on the reverse, was about 3' high by 4' wide. The new growth is a handsome smokey reddish-brown.

We fell in love with the flowers when they first bloomed. I caught the third picture of the flower late so the corolla has separated from the calyx and ovary.

Minimum temperature:  Possibly 25º F

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
