An unbelievable foliage plant. The glossy deep green leaves are lovely year round. But in late spring the new growth as glorious rusty. Our largest (15 years old) is 12”x18”.

This cross is sooo nice! It has a mound forming growth habit with superior foliage, dark green and small with indumentum. Flowers are cream to white with a pink flush near the edges. A sweet plant, great for any garden.
