Info | 15" tall. Light Shade. Wow... if you haven't seen a mature clump of H. 'Wolverine', then you are in for a treat! This fast growing hybrid from Jim Wilkins makes a 3' wide clump of shiny blue green foliage surrounded by a very wide rippled golden margin. The long tapering leaves give a unique cascading appearance to the clump. In late summer, the clumps are topped with 20" scapes with lavender flowers. Leaves are lance-shaped and have blue-green centers with a nice creamy-yellow margin, upright growth habit; lavender flowers. Medium clump of shiny blue long pointed leaves with a gold margin that becomes cream in more sun. Lavender flowers in August. Distinct shape and U. of Michigan color. Named for the colors of the University of Michigan, the blue centers are wrapped in a rich gold. The upright habit of the heavily substanced leaves seem to be cheering the team on! Lavender flowers. |
