Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sweet, smallish but fast growing little beauty... glowing lemon yellow foliage tops cherry red petioles for a fruity, contrasty, garden delight! At a mere 6-8” in height and an eventual 12-18” wide, YOU have room for this! Flowers are lavender on taller stems. Bright shade, morning sun for best leaf color, humus rich, moist soil with good drainage.
