Info | ='Fortunei Granary Gold'. A medium mound of rich golden leaves topped with lavender flowers. Developed by the late Eric Smith, forming a mound of rich golden foliage. This one absolutely comes alive during that special time after the sun sets and before the dark. Lavender flowers. Medium mound of gold foliage; holds color until mid-August then turns to golden green. Lavendar flowers. A sparkler in our garden. Probably a hybrid or mutation of 'Fortunei Aurea', but larger and holds it's gold color longer before turning chartreuse in summer. Lavender flowers. |
