2024 Southeastern Plant Symposium Auction
548 - Cardiandra × agricola 'Star Power'
Plant
Closed
Current Bid: $62
(Pot Sz: 4" pot)
Common name: Star Power Hybrid Cardiandra
¤ deciduous perennial to 18"
¤ plant in light shade
¤ hardy to zone 5
¤ pink flowers in late spring
¤ attracts pollinators, woodland plants
From Issima, who are long-time fans of Hydrangea esoterica, were excited to read back in 2008 in The Plantsman about Cardiandra × agricola, a cross between Cardiandra alternifolia and Cardiandra formosana performed at Crug Farm (from plants they had collected in the wild, no less!). and began looking at their catalog annually for availability. After five years with no availability, the folks at Issima realized they’d have to do it myself. This clone was selected due to its vigor, upright habit, flower production and sepal size. Best in light shade and moist, well drained soil.
