Inflorescence: pubescent, 125 cm high, paniculate with many branches held in an upright angle. Scape: starting from just above the leaves. Flowers: bell shaped, white, 5 to 7,5 cm across. Fruit purplish-green, smooth surface, slightly constricted. Seeds black, glossy, up to  5 x 7 mm.

Where do I grow the plant:
The seeds will be sown in the late spring 2004
