InfoMuch wider white center than 'Night before Christmas'.
A sport of 'Night before Christmas' developed at Q&Z nursery; much wider, white leaf center; good vigor for a white-centered cultivar; tetraploid.
A tetraploid sport of H. 'Night Before Christmas' with a very wide white center surrounded by a narrow green margin. Grows well for having so much white but should be given some morning sun and kept our of the afternoon sun to avoid melt out.
