InfoRippled leaves with varying width green margins on bright yellow centers provide a graceful appearance.
'First Dance' is the equally beautiful, reverse partner of 'One Last Dance'.
This sport of 'Dancing Queen' emerges in the spring with brilliant yellow leaves edged by strongly ruffled, green margins.
As summer rolls on, the yellow cools to chartreuse.
