So there is no such thing as a "baroni" but only the species H citrina?
robinjoy said:So Sue - which do you suspect is what I have? How would I decide?
Seedfork said:I think that the cultivar 'Baroni' is described as having pink at the base of the leaves would be a could tip off as to which plant is which. I have seen it referred to as "Pink Socks" or "Purple Socks" if is more purple tinted.
robinjoy said:What a wealth of information Sue! Thanks so much! Where were you able to access that 1903 Gardeners Chronicle?

I imagine the species H. citrina is commonly found. How likely is it that the cultivar 'Baroni' is actually being grown now? So many of the early hybrids are lost.
