Habranthus Pink Flamingos Lobelia a Hosta hypoleuca derivativeWe originally received Habranthus 'Pink Flamingos' from Carl Schoenfeld of Yucca Do as a Habranthus hybrid. After trials in NC, we agree with Carl that it is an exceptionally floriferous hybrid of Habranthus robustus, so together we coined the name Habranthus 'Pink Flamingos', which well describes a clump in flower. As with most rain lilies, this fast multiplying clump has a flowering window that starts for us in mid June and continues into September
