    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    One of the most dramatic of all selections and still the most uncommon. To 18" with arching leaves, striped cream white and green, sometimes approaching 1/2" across, adorned in late season by lavender flowers then blue-black berries. This is, to us, attractive in repeated clumps or as individual specimens that showcase its beautiful form. Slow to spread and unfortunately even slower to propagate. Sun or shade with regular moisture is best. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
