A fast growing sport of H. 'Amy Aden',
this cultivar of unidentified origin was registered in
2010 by
Mark Zilis of Illinois. It forms a medium size (11 inches high
by 31 inches wide) plant
with dense foliage that starts the season chartreuse in the
center with a yellow marginal variegation but changes to green in the center
with white marginal variegation by later in the summer. The
leaves are moderately wavy, ovate and dull on top. Medium
lavender, tubular flowers bloom in July.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Don't underestimate 'Fresh' as a colorful edger or low
ground cover."
This is one
of several plants that was once attributed to
Paul Aden of New York but has subsequently been classified as having an
unidentified originator.
