InfoThis rapid grower has heart-shaped gold leaves and is a sport of H. 'Royal Tiara'. Marco feels this plant is proof that H. 'Royal Tiara' did not come from H. 'Golden Tiara' but from something like H. 'Gold Drop'. H. 'Paradise Goldheart' is much larger than its suspected parent and topped with pale lavender flowers early in the summer. Nice plant for the garden.
