InfoOne of the most interesting plants ever when it emerges in the spring is Owen Purvis' captivating 'Play Misty for Me', a sieboldiana-type seedling. Multi-colored misting swirls through the leaves like wisps of fog on a cool morning. As the season goes on, the misting fades to a memory just as the warming sun melts the fog away. Even late in the season, it's still an attractive plant that you can't help remembering its spring show when you pass by it.
