Been trying to track down where the plant Lapageria rosea 'Nash Court'
came
from originally (and when) so far I have found 4 places in the UK that go
under the name of Nash Court, so does anyone know the history of this
plant.
I have a plant flowering at the moment which came via this group from
Belgium as a cutting courtesy of Roger Van Loon, so if you still read the
posts Roger, Many thanks :~)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I understood it was raised and named by Rennie Moffat [head gardener]
at Penheale Launceston. He had a large collection and was the leading
cultivator of Lapagerias. He actually grew them quite well out-doors with
winter protection. He gave me a number of specimens~ but I've had no real
success. He was a lovely man and a very special gardener~~ he will be
missed.
Try a Google 'Moffat Lapageria'.
Sorry not to be able to help more.
