white backs and downward turning tips. Leaves become
rounder and corrugated over time. Rust spots in wet
weather can be observed..."
The flowers have lavender tepals with white bases and
are translucent at the margins with alternate tepals

registration materials state: "Deeply corrugated
foliage pairs well with grape-stained petioles and
bracts on this viridescent specimen. Fertile and
fabulous for mixing with early-blooming reds." |
