Wide, oval, two-toned green foliage emerges in spring as a light green center with darker edges. As the season progresses the center lightens to gold. Morning sun and afternoon shade show the best gold coloration. Thick flower stalks rise above the foliage in summer bearing funnel-shaped, pink-lavender bells in mid-summer. Easy to grow. Perfect for grouping in the landscape. Thrives in partial shade. Attracts hummingbirds.
