Description
A recent selection from Tennessee with yellow/green variegated leaves. Native to much of the East, H. virginiana has its own delightfully idiosyncratic season of bloom: Perfumed yellow flowers open in October and November just as the leaves are ready to fall, imparting an unexpected fragrance to late autumn days.
