This spectacular sport from the garden of James Goffery is the latest sport of H. 'Frances Williams' (of the trade). The large blue corrugated leaves have a wide center of bright gold. In early spring, the clumps are topped with white flowers on 2' scapes. This spectacular clump tends to burn in sun and dry soils, so be sure this one gets good attention...for serious collectors only.
