Cantua buxifolia is known as the ‘Sacred Flower of the Incas (or of the Andes)’ so you now know where it comes from and may fairly deduce that it is only marginally hardy (Z9). However giving it the protection it needs is worth the effort as it has the most spectacular tubular red flowers more than 2” long; at least it should have, but the form we have at the moment has white flowers with a yellow tube. Equally nice, but not what we were expecting, so if you have the red-flowering form we would like obtain some stock.
