Details

The leaves are a wonderful glossy dark green surrounded by a narrow golden edge that widens and fades to cream as the season continues. The low viable seed production of H. 'Sum and Substance' and its sports may relate to the possibility of a triploid. Limited viable seed. Lady Isobel Barnett (1918-1980) was a British television personality popular during the 1950s and 1960s. Elegant and witty, regarded as the epitome of the British aristocracy. (C.Packard).
