Info | Patented as 'Diamonds Are Forever' (PP26011). H. 'Diamonds are Forever' is a real winner by a wide margin. The unique facets that form this scintillating mound of foliage are the dark green and soft gray centers of the leaf set against the pure white edge. A sport of H. 'Diamond Tiara', it cuts a fine figure in the garden whether you use it in a mass planting, in a pot, or as an edging. |
