Nursery contributed plant descriptions

16" tall. Creamy white when it emerges in the spring. Developes green speckles, and by fall is a light green. Slightly rippled margin; dull on top and underneath; lightly wavy; good substance. Pale lavender flowers. Needs good morning sun because of the lack of chlorophyll, but will burn in afternoon sun.
