Unusual. I was about to say that it looked a bit like a Weigela until I
realised that hakoneutsugi was the name of the plant and not the
photographer (embarassed smiley).
Weigela coraeensis is it's common name for those those that did not already
know.

I thought it was weigela versicolour? anyway Sacha is right always causes
comment here when in flower.

Charlie I got the coraeensis bit by Googling hakoneutsugi. Images look
similar. Not many images for versicolour .
Agreed it is an unusual and very different plant and Sacha is quite right
when she says you won't easily find it.

My fault, Rupert. I didn't even notice that myself - just went for a good
pic on Google. Very careless of me and you have, of course, identified it
correctly! Do you have it?

It's a pity you don't do mail order.

All I can tell you Charlie is that Ray has had it for many years and it was
sold to him as W. coraeensis by that small nursery opposite (but not
associated with) Stourhead. Looking at pics of W. versicolor on Google my
impression is that C. coraeensis is more vari-coloured but from photos, it's
hard to tell. Whichever it is, it's a stunner and while it needs space to
do its best, I just don't know why it isn't more widely grown.

It's under consideration but no more than that, at this stage. It's an
expensive undertaking and we have to give it considerable thought.

Not got one -yet I have banned myself from even thinking about buying
anything else until all the stuff that I bought on the autumn/pre
summer/spring and pre-order lists arrives and is planted.
It's never a good idea to look at online plant sites when tanked up on red
wine on cold winter evenings:-)

It looks like the plant I've seen grown as W. coraeensis. (One of the
local NT gardens has it.)

We talked about that many moons ago? I suppose in the case of your business
you are selling "The Hill House experience" which can't be replicated on
line. OK perhaps you could do mail order cream teas and a virtual tour of
the gardens :-)
Even the mighty Crug have decided to do a limited mail order service.!
I will be your first customer to order one Bacopa at 75p (postage paid) or
perhaps not because it is still flowering from last year.

I've been sorely tempted by this ever since seeing that large plant in
your border adjacent to the car park. Wiegelias have never 'set my
world on fire', but this is so free flowering and such a confection of
pink and cream that it's a must-have in almost any garden. BTW from
what I can remember of 'Versicolor', the pink is a bit more strident
and the density of flower isn't so great. Yours is definitely an
improvement on that.

I do think it needs to be able to stretch its wings to be seen at its best.
It's the combination of the many colours at one time that make it so
luscious to look at. Like you, I've never gone overboard about Weigelas but
this is something very special, IMO.

Well, in the past, I've threatened/promised to fax someone a cream tea. ;-)

Keep it going! We have a hanging basket that's about 3 years old and the
Bacopa just about touches the ground. It's admired by so many people but
it's a firm Not For Sale!
