| Info | JN:Hime Hyuga Giboushi. Native to Yaku Island, Japan. Small, long narrow rippled leaves. Green with pronounced veins. Dense, shiny leaves are deeply impressed above, and have 10 pair of veins. Long pointed leaves are all green. Smaller than regular H. kikutii. Long pointed all-green leaves w/raised veins; late blooming w/lavender flowers. Long narrow, deeply ribbed dark green leaves, held low and arching. Near-white flowers. Long, pointed green leaves with raised veins. About half the size of H. kikutii. Like many others, I thought for years that I had this plant. When I saw the true version, I knew there was no question that this dwarf is different. Beautiful white nodding flowers. Narrow green leaves arch downward. Very cute plant. |
