Info | Large 12" x 9" blue-green leaves with a wide irregular yellow border present a dramatic display upon an impressive medium-sized mound. The border changes to cream as the season progresses and are complimented with a "surprise" of glaucous red-burgundy flower scapes holding the plant's lavender flowers. |
