Carmichaelia × hutchinsii ‘Delight’
Description:
‘Delight’ is a recognised cultivar of Carmichaelia × hutchinsii, but specific information on its origin, breeder and introduction date has not been found. The hybrid itself is an artificial cross between C. astonii and Notospartium glabrescens (now treated as C. glabrescens). An RHS herbarium specimen of the hybrid was collected in the UK in 1986, while it was published as × Carmispartium hutchinsii by M.D. Griffiths in 1992 and transferred to Carmichaelia × hutchinsii by Heenan in 1998.
