| Info | 'Shire Lights' is our sport of 'Lemon Lime'. Each leaf shows off with a consistent bright yellow margin surrounding each golden green center. It has been stable for us with no reversions over numerous years. It blooms June to July with purple-striped lavender bells on scapes to 12 inches. In shade 'Shire Lights' will gradually spread into a lit pool about 12” to 18” diameter. |
