Info | Grey green leaves with massive puckering. Heavy steely-hued blue-green leaves; makes a huge clump in time. Exhibiting a heart shaped leaf, 'Tattletale Gray' is one of Cynthia Tompkins' creations. The clump is distinctly upright and the leaves are of very heavy substance. An established clump exhibits a great deal of biscuit tufting. The color is difficult to describe. Definitely not "gray" in the strict sense of the word, it could better be described as a deep, smokey-steel blue with very strong patina. Both Chet and Cynthia have used 'Tattletale Gray' for the production of extra large offspring. |
