Better late than never!
In my garden the white and red version of Anomanthca predominates and
seeds all over the bed where I grow my primroses and small bulbs. In my
garden at least it seems more vigorous than the red version, which only
reproduces itself quite modestly.
The white/red one almost has the status of a weed, albeit a beautiful
rascal!
