InfoA small to medium sized plant, H. 'Madam' is no shrinking violet. Emerging chartreuse, with a few hours of sun she brightens to a glowing neon gold, with strong, direct, spade-shaped leaves, some red on the outside petioles, but perhaps the most exciting feature is the way the deep red scapes come slipping out seductively from underneath the leaves, in the heat of July. Fertile, her pods develop the same deep color as the scapes, and with a half-day of sun her leaves will take on a mellow candle-glow yellow
