Details

May is the golden form of the #1 rated H. 'June.' It has the same growth habit and heavy substance as its famous parent. Brighter light draws out the gold color, and more shade produces a chartreuse color. Lavender flowers top the clump in late summer. Its famous hybridizer, Hans Hansen, named it for his mother.
