InfoAs H. 'Sombreo'.
Plant is olive green.
Flowers are pure white.
Here is another well kept secret from the late Bob Savory's breeding program. H. 'Sombrero' makes a lovely 3' wide clump of smooth glaucous blue-green foliage. In midsummer, the clumps are topped with fantastic fragrant white flowers! This is the first hybrid to combine the blue foliage and size of the "sieboldianas" with the fragrance of H. 'Honeybells'. This is sure to be a delight in any garden!
