Nursery contributed plant descriptions
A newer version of "Aureum" with more substantial pale green leaves having a central gold band running down the mid-rib. This is a delight in the shade and tolerant of drier shade. Lovely gold flower/seed heads. Will self-sow a bit but seedlings don't come true.
