Info | =ventricosa 'Spring Gold'. This much sought after selection of H. ventricosa looks just like the green species plant, except that it emerges with brilliant gold foliage in the spring. As the weather warms, the foliage changes to green (viridescent). The 2' wide clumps are topped with 26" spikes of large, dark purple and white striped bell-like flowers in midsummer. |
