Details
A bright gold with a slightly rippled margin. The large, moderately twisted, heart-shaped leaves with long petioles and "wavy" upright appearance make 'Key West' an eye-catcher. A member of hybridizer Olga Petryszyn's "America" series. This is a cross between H. nigrescens 'Elatior' and H. 'High Noon.' A mature clump can reach 6' wide. Bright filtered light draws out the gold coloration.
