Tetraploid form of 'Praying Hands'!
This is a true tetraploid of H. 'Praying Hands' with lots of great attributes that make it a superior plant. Very thick leaves (almost feel like rubber) that stay much smaller than the parent and a creamy-yellow to white border that is much more defined. The dense clump will be topped with lavender flowers. We took a number of these to the 2010 AHS Convention in Minneapolis and they were the first plants to leave the table.
