InfoThis 16" x 30" beauty has pure white centered leaves with a 2.5" wide dark green margin. Add deep cupping, a wavy edge, and almost round foliage, and you get the picture!
Why have many of us not seen it? It is one that does not come through TC well, so availability has been limited.
Very rounded and cupped leaves have a white center (starts out yellow) surrounded by a wide green border. Good corrugation and topped with lavender flowers.
