InfoThe brightest color in the spring garden--truly viridescent. This one needs to be grown in the sun in order to maintain it's interesting gold hue. The leaves are cupped and corrugated and H. 'Eye Catcher' is a vigorous grower with more than one flush per season. A unique bloom scape with leaves that diminish in size as they go up the scape and purple flowers nestled closely, the color contrast is very appealing.
