Info | Unusual light green to gold lance shaped leaves with some sun. The stems are speckled strawberry red. The scapes are speckled with the same strawberry spots and the flowers are a medium deep purple. The colors contrast nicely. Clumps form quickly. Try to plant this where the sun has a chance to peek in on it to accentuate the colors. 'Spritzer' seedling. A medium light to gold lance shape plant that fountains up out of the crown. It prefers very bright indirect light. The petioles are red as well as the scape. The flowers are a fairly deep violet. KJ is an open pollenated seedling from Spritzer but has better substance and better flower color. |
