Plant details
A fairly recent introduction, 'Freckles' has become an instant success. The ferny foliage looks good all year round but in winter the brick red freckled, creamy bell-shaped flowers are a great novelty at a notoriously lean time of year for bloom. Given a mild winter, plants may start flowering before Christmas and continue for 2 to 3 months, but in most seasons they start in the New Year. Plants need a mild climate and a sheltered spot to put on a good show in cold areas they are best grown in a conservatory (this need not be heated). The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
