It's best coloration is brought out in full shade. 97039 H. clausa var. This very rare form came to us from the Bejing Botanic Garden in China. These were grown from seed collected by their botanist. Small leathery, very narrow dark green shiny leaves are sword-shaped on short petioles.
Flowers are prple on short scapes with purple dots at the base.
This is an older variety, but it is still a favorite. Each leaf is a uniquely designed combination of greens and golds, most distinct in spring. Makes a large clump. There is no other like it. Abundant soft lavender flowers on purple scapes from late summer until frost.
