'Agapetes - Himalayan Lantern' is currently unavailable.
An evergreen shrub of 'epiphyte' background, it has low arching branches from a large woody tuber which bears rows of small, glossy, leathery, leaves and single rows of hanging tubular waxy pink flowers in summer. Each flower has 5 distinct angles and a pattern of V shaped bars of deep pink. Prefers to be grown in a large pot but adapts readily enough to garden conditions. Grows to a height of no more than 1m in height but may be twice that in width.
