We think you will really enjoy our new 1998 introduction... especially if you're a Squash Casserole fan. The large wavy chartreuse gold leaves fan out to make a spectacular, vigorous and easy to grow 4' wide clump. In early summer, the clumps are topped with attractive 20" scapes of light purple flowers.
We have also found H. 'Squash Casserole' to be very sun tolerant when kept moist.
Heavily vained, oval and rippled.
Tony Avent introduction; gold, deeply veined, oval leaves; leaf margins rippled; one of the fastest growers we've seen; will tolerate FULL SUN with adequate moisture.
