History
This cultivar has a rather chaotic history. It was discovered and described by Hibberd in 1872. It then disappeared for a while. It was rediscovered in the gardens of Spetchley Park, Eversham, UK, but was not initially identified as ‘Sulphurea’. It was then known as ‘Spetchley Variegated’ until, in 1975, it was identified as ‘Sulphurea’ and reverted to its original name. It is presented here in its adult version.
