Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We have grown this hybrid for several years. The broad leaves have light colored indumentum. The leaves are long and broad. Somewhere between both parents. No flowers yet. But, who cares when the foliage is this great.

Tan indumentum under the leaves, silvery-white tomentum above slowly wears away to dark green shiny foliage. Both parents known for striking foliage you can bet this is very nice! In May there are lovely pink flowers to contrast the dark foliage.
