| Info | 4 color bands! First Look 2002 Kevin Vaughn & Frances Williams Awards (Best Sport Judges & Attendees). A wild and wacky tweak of H. 'Sum and Substance' ploidy has produced something H. 'Totally Awe Sum'. Sleak white streaks and funky furls on luscious leaves with colorful curls explode from the crown of this perplexing permutation. In the spring, foliage is predominantly gold, but as summer cranks up the heat, leaves chill out to cool green centers trimmed in white. |
