Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A far cry from those giant clumps of wide strappy leaves taking up WAY too much space…this seedling grown little mini is only 10”tall and 14” wide! The leaves are narrow and heavily spotted giving it an exotic vibe! Short spikes of purple flowers in July are a nice finisher. Sun to part shade, decent garden soil, regular water (takes some drought when established). It’s just cool!
