InfoPP24008.
Tetraploid form of 'Paradise Island'.
Nice contrast with yellow, green and red.
An exciting introduction from Marco Fransen...the tetraploid form of H. 'Paradise Island' which has been a big success on it's own. Now there are thicker leaves and a wider border which makes for more contrast and a stunning plant. The upright leaves showoff the cherry red petioles extremely well with the color reaching right up into the leaves and the lavender flowers compliment the clump. This improved version gives exceptional beauty and garden worthiness.
