Originated by
Robert
Savory
of Savory's Gardens in Minnesota and registered by
his son,
Dennis Savory in 1997, this cultivar is a seedling of H. 'Vilmoriniana'.
It has dark green foliage that has a lighter green marginal variegation. The
plant is medium size growing to a height of 16 inches with a spread of 38
inches. Pale purple, tubular flowers bloom in July and sets viable seeds.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "The lighter edge...is not variegation, but a lightening of the
margin. Most likely it develops due to environmental conditions,
and it certainly does not add any ornamental value to the
plant."
Do not confuse this cultivar with a German plant called H. ''Rumpelstilzchen'.
