InfoA product of many generations of crosses going back to Cynthia's 'Old Gold Edge'/'English Sieboldiana'/'Cemetery One'/'Pioneer', this huge gold bordered sieboldiana type is a product of Chet's hybridizing. Well grown, it develops into a dramatic specimen clump. Gold borders are very full and wide. Rugose at maturity. Basically a deep blue with golden/gilt edging. Takes much more sun here than 'Frances Williams' and its offspring.
Medium green with yellow margins. Very puckered. Heavy substance.
Medium green leaves with yellow margins, cordate and rugose; white flowers.
Medium-large round green leaves with gold edge, turning cream with more sun. Very similar to 'Frances Williams' but smaller and stands up better to sun here. White flowers.
Huge gold edged leaves; cream edge in sun.
