Info | 'Luna Moth' is a wide-margined sport of Jim Hawes' 'Parky's Prize', which is itself a sport of 'Birchwood Parky's Gold'. It is a great little plant with limey-gold margins and narrow medium green centers that grows as well as its two predecessors. Bill says this one is so easy to grow you could probably toss it on the ground and let it root itself in. As foolproof as it is attractive, 'Luna Moth' is a plant for any garden. It won't disappoint. |
