This unique introduction is one that seemingly attracts all types of gardeners. This strange mutation of H. 'Gold Standard' has a durable dark green H. 'Fortunei'-like leaf, but with a unique strip of white in the center of each leaf. Alongside the white center is a narrow golden band between it and the green. The band is often not seen in young plants, but does seem to develop with age. In mid summer, the vigorous growing 2' wide clump is topped with violet flowers on 2' scapes. This is one truly spectacular plant that will have all the neighbors drooling!
