    A chance mutation of 'Silveredge' that showed up in Punnett's garden the leaf is internally misted with gold flecking, not all that impressive when viewed up close but form a distance it really stands out 'Carol Mackie' and 'Silveredge' pale in its presence. Habit is compact growing at about 2/3 the rate of 'Silveredge' it almost looks sheared. As with all variegated plants reversions are possible however, it has been incredibly stable to date, by far the best burkwoodii we grow.
