A virus-free form of H. opipara, this is an absolutely stunning plant with narrow, upright glossy green leaves and a wide creamy margin. Purple-striped flowers.
Bright green with bright yellow-green margin of variable width that becomes more ivory with the season. Formerly known as H.'Opipara'. Due to a heavy infection of a virus Bill Brinks imported from Japan a clone, virus free of Opipara and registered it as H.'Bill Brincka' to distinguish it from the virus infected cultivars.
