An open-pollinated seedling that I registered in 1997, this is the
brightest plant in the garden in the spring. Upon hardening off, the
leaves turn olive green (the gold holds longer in more light). The blade
is very cupped and corrugated, almost like a 'Tokudama' but smaller. Leaf
size 4 x 4". Midsummer blossoms are an interesting dark violet, tucked at
the base of a scape leaf on the first few blossoms. The stalk then
continues with a normal flowering of some 20 additional blooms. From a
distance the just-opening few flowers with scape leaves create a pyramidal
shape more like a Christmas tree than the cultivar that goes by said name.
