Info | Gold. And stays gold. Pale yellow-green w/green center; elongated, cupped inward and stands erect. Upright yellowish green leaves, green in the center, somewhat cupped, with heavy substance. Pale lavender flowers. An old Herb Benedict registration that never got around much but has proven to be a beautiful plant in the garden. It's a tall, upright gold with 'Gold Regal' parentage but much better gold color. Late blooming and fertile, it could prove to be a good parent itself. |
