InfoThis dwarf resulted from a cross of H. 'Flamboyant' and H. venusta and is a real standout! The arrow-shaped leaf has a white center with a dark green margin and is approximately 1 1/2" by 2"; the petioles are also white with a green edge and even the scapes are white. Measures 8" d. by 4" h.
Delightful mini with cream to white leaf centers framed with crisp green borders…leaves are narrow and held upright. Lavender flowers on this newer introduction from Alex Malloy
