Info | An open pollinated seedling from H. 'Invincible'--plant was a real attention-getter in the Marek garden at the '99 Convention in Ann Arbor. Like it's parent, H. 'Red Stepper' loves the sun and has bright reflecting blades that glisten when the light hits them. Add to this the bright red petioles and pale lavender flowers late in the season. Named after the Red Steppers from Indiana University. |
