| Info | This 2008 introduction is a PDN cross involving H. 'Swoosh', H. longissima, H. venusta, and H. 'Bright Lights' that resulted in a vigorous, fast-multiplying small clump to 8" tall x 18" wide. The clumps are composed of small 3.5" long x 2" wide green leaves, edged with a wide creamy white border... great as both a small specimen plant or used in a woodland border. The clumps are topped with 15" tall scapes of medium lavender flowers in June. |
