| This hybrid variety is known for its near black stems and dark veins on the leaves. Leaf color is green, both sides. Overall mature height is about three feet. This plant will sucker and has been said to grow in Zone 9. There are reports of it taking down to the upper teens F. It is a hybrid of multiple other varieties. It is said to tolerates full sun, but I’d probably recommend part day sun or less, especially if you are far inland. Note how the leaves are slightly ruffled with irregular edges on the larger nursery specimen. We’re putting young one gallons on sale – shown in first 6 photos.Easy to mail order. |
