This small Jim Dishon hybrid (H. 'Galaxy' x H. 'Hadspen Heron') makes a slow-growing but delightful 15" wide clump of dark green heart-shaped leaves, each with an unusual rippled orange-gold margin. The margins change to a creamy yellow as the season progresses. The clumps are topped with 13" scapes of light lavender flowers in early summer.
