| Info | This is a streaked sport of 'Lancifolia' according to introducer Alex Malloy. That's a species that has been around for a very long time without giving hybridizers a streaked form to work with. Does set viable seed and they are streaked. Should be an interesting plant both for the collector and the hybridizer. Streaky breeder: slightly shiny medium green leaves are streaked with creamy white. Lavender flowers on this fertile H. 'Lancifolia' sport. |
