A very choice and distinctive species bearing early in the season beautiful shell pink to lilac-mauve hanging bells that are more reminiscent of a fritillaria than a lily! Another of Frank Kingdon Ward’s discoveries from Manipur, the area of north eastern India once called Assam. Named in honour of his wife Jean (nee Macklin). Up to 75cm in height bearing at most 6 or 7 flowers in good humus rich soil. A true gem.
