Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A sport of H. 'Dragon Tails' with long, wavy leaves that have a green center framed by a yellow border. The leaves tend to grow upward and then cascade down making a perfect little dense mound, topped with lavender flowers in midsummer. Great addition for those who love the minis!
