P. 'Lillian Pottinger'
Small grey green serrated leaves smell
strongly of camphor, the small white flowers are carried in
sprays above the plant
P. 'Mabel Grey'
Large rough leaves smell strongly of lemon
sherbert, The pink flowers have both red and white blotches on
the upper petals.
P. 'Madam Nonin'
Gets called all sorts of things this! It is
a strong growing plant with strongly scented leaves (difficult to
describe the scent) It appears to be some sort of sport from
patens unique whose red colour is very similar(Root cuttings from
Madam Nonin produce a Patens Unique like plant), Madam Nonin
however has crimped and crinkled petals giving the flowers and
"old velvet" look.
P. papillionaceum
This is a very large species, I have to
throw out plants after 8 feet! the leaves are rounded and up to
18 inches across, will sometimes go through the winter outdoors
as it has tough woody stems, the flowers have only two petals at
the top which look like wings- hence its name which means "Like
a butterfly" Its main claim to fame is the strongly scented
leaves seem to be leathal to white fly!!
P. 'Patons Unique'
Large plant with strongly scented leaves (difficult
to describe the scent, could be called sweetly metallic!) the
flowers are large and showy, scarlet crimson shading to white
with darker markings
P. 'Pink Capricorn'
Previously known as P.capitatum, it has a
sweet rose scent, the medium to large pink flowers have
attractive markings, this does very well outside flowering all
summer long
P. 'Pink Champagne'
The large green leaves smell strongly of
lemon, and it has very large pink flowers with attractive darker
markings
