A giant size (42 inches
high by 36 inches wide) sport of H. 'Friar
Tuck', this upright, slow growing cultivar was
registered by
Jim Husemann registered in 2012. The leaves have thick
substance and are dark green with a lighter green
marginal variegation. They are slightly rippled, nearly
round, moderately wavy and have very shiny tops. Pale
lavender, tubular flower bloom in July. It sets seeds
but the viability was not known at the time of
registration.
According to the
registration report, this cultivar has the very unusual
trait of having "two leaves per leaf stalk." Also, the
leaf center becomes a lighter green as the season
progresses resulting in the loss of the variegation.
