'Adrian's Glory'
This beautiful sport of H. 'Gold
Standard' is named after my mentor, friend and
father, Adrian Van Hoorn. Heart shaped leaves
are blue-green with chartreuse centers and have a
thick substance that makes it very slug resistant.

sun. |

Very large, blue ovate leaves with wide margins of
chartreuse, changing to medium gold by midsummer.

excellent alternative to Frances Williams.

very cupped and held horizontal. Midseason
pale lavender flowers on 21-25" scapes. 40"w x
