Reineckea aff. carnea from Sichuan

Reineckea carnea is a perennial plant that retains its foliage year-round, characterized by slender, arching leaves that can reach lengths of up to 35 cm. Its small, fragrant flowers emerge from deep pink buds, unfolding into pale pink star shapes; however, these blooms are not abundant, and the flower spikes typically stay lower than the surrounding leaves. In climates with hot summers, the plant produces red berries as a follow-up to flowering.

Reineckea carnea 'Baoxing Booty' is a low-growing, rhizomatous perennial that thrives in woodland settings. It features wide, paddle-shaped leaves with subtle ribbing, supported by short, erect stems. From August to October, it produces small, fragrant flowers reminiscent of lily-of-the-valley, which are pink in color. After a warm summer, the plant bears red berries. This cultivar presents a unique variation of the species.
