This very rare and unusual form of the lovely "Welsh Gladwyn," originally discovered in our woodland, is unique for the attractive, snowy-white, pearl-like seeds which burst forth from the seed-pods in a striking display in autumn. As they then stay fixed to the open pod and do not fall, whole stems can then be cut to make an impressive floral arrangement. Just a very few seeds collected. Inevitably you will produce the odd reverted plant with orange seeds for which we apologise.
