This needs a moist soil in the shade where it grows to just over a foot high and slightly wider. Allegedly hardy to -8C with a mulch, but I haven't tested it yet.

Completely different shaped leaves to evansiana, red underside? My evansiana is alway so late popping up I often think I've lost it, same time as Roscoea alpina pink.
You won't know yet how early it emerges?

No Sue, I only got it this spring, but I suspect it will be another very late starter.
