Fragrant, pale lavender flowers bloom high above a huge mound of enormous chartreuse-gold leaves. The chartreuse leaf color is dependent on the amount of sun with 1/4 to 3/4 of the day in full sun providing the best coloration. Wonderfully distinct background or specimen plant for shady gardens or woodlands.
