| Info | Large rippled heart leaf. Blue green. This is a giant 3' beauty its leaves 9" long x 7 1/2" wide being perfectly heavy-textured hearts. It is particularly cupped where the long petiole ends and holds out the 'hearts' in a most appealing way. These leaves are blue-green - their very heavy puckering derived from our own 'Puckered Giant'. It makes a dense, glaucous green, giant mound that will attract all who see it. Magndicently puckered but shiny. |
