Info12" tall. Part Sun to Light Shade.
A mound of bright gold leaves with vivid dark green borders.
White flowers in early summer.
This exciting new introduction from Briggs is a sport from H. 'Little Aurora'. The bright golden heart shaped leaves are surrounded by a vivid dark green border on this 1' tall x 1' wide gem. This is the reverse variegation pattern of H. 'Sultana', and similar to H. 'Just So' (a seedling from H. 'Little Aurora').
In early summer, the clumps are topped with near white flowers on 12" scapes.
We can't say enough good things about this plant! A sport of H. 'Litte Aurora', a bright gold center w/irregular dark green margins, a beautiful little plant for the rockery, the border or a container; blooms w/lavender flowers, OUTSTANDING!.
A sport of 'Little Aurora', it has the same radiant gold in the center and is outlined in dark green. Wonderful! Lavender flowers.
