InfoThis medium sized mound measuring 22"x38" of puckered golden-yellow foliage has all the classic beauty and style familiar in many older classic beauties, but that is where the comparison ends. Attendees were stopped in their tracks as they came upon this plant in full bloom. Red-purple base to the flowers stands out against heavily blushed rose pink bracts that contrast beautifully with the lavender flowers unlike any other registered plant that we know of to date.
