InfoExtremely cupped, quilted, round intensely blue leaves No two leaves look the same This plant has been admired in my garden since a tiny seedling It is slightly faster growing than one would assume for a 'Big Daddy' x 'Love Pat' seedling Flowers are white becoming a very pale lavender towards the end of its bloom season It readily sets seed and has potent pollen This is the English translation for the nickname my grandfather had for my mother when she was a young child.
