Hi Greenspan,
This is a Hartside Nursery Gardens own selection but as you say they look very similar.
Quote from their catalogue.
Roscoea cautleyoides 'Pennine Purple'
Our own selection a chance seedling which stood out as having a better colour than the other lilac and purple forms around.
We have been slowly building up the numbers of this selection by dividing the plants regularly.
A good clean colour with an attractive contrasting cream eye. Flowering mainly in May & June and producing some flowers regularly later in the summer.
Awarded a Preliminary Commendation by the Joint Rock Garden Plant Committee
