Description
Plants reach 17" in height and 40" in width with leaves 7 3/16" long and 5" wide with a chartreuse center and a green margin, the center becoming almost white-gold by mid-summer; little or no corregation or waviness, average substance, 9-10 vein pairs. Flowers pale lavender, striped in mid-petal, 1 3/4" long, narrow funnel-shaped, effective from late July into August, held on 30" tall scapes. This can be thought of as a smaller version of 'Gold Standard' with a thinner, green margin. 'Janet' has a fast growth rate and quickly establishes a dense mound of foliage.
