Medium-Large. Seedling from H.'Neat Splash'. M.Seaver 1984. A quick growing variety whose leaves are lovely, but of a slightly thin texture requiring a little protection. They emerge a fresh apple green, but soon become a bright yellow with a narrow white margin. The texture is very well seersuckered, with the effect greatly enhanced by green staining in the recesses. In Spring the leaves come out of really red buds. Similar to Saint Elmo's Fire, whose leaves are even more seersuckered.Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or overLinks
