This sport of a yellow
seedling, this cultivar was registered by
Robert
Savory
of Savory's Gardens in Minnesota in 1985. It
forms a medium to large size mound with broadly ovate leaves that are
moderately corrugated and have good substance. Pale lavender
flowers bloom in July on 3 foot tall scapes.
According to
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis (2009), "...exemplifies the difference
between juvenile and mature plants...appears to be a
medium-size, 'Fortunei' type with a fairly fast growth rate and
midsummer flowering. Mature specimens growing at Savory's
Gardens, however, display larger, broader foliage with wider
gold margins and could easily be mistaken for a gold-edged
H. 'Sieboldiana'-type."
