'Halcyon' as its pollen parent. Registered in the 1990s, it inherits thick leaf substance and dependable vigour from that celebrated lineage. Its heart-shaped, forest-green leaves are crisply framed by clean white margins that brighten even the deepest shade corners. Hardy across Canadian zones 3–9, it performs reliably from the Maritimes to British Columbia. We verify every plant is True to Type at our Bécancour trial fields before it ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStark Definition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep green leaf centres are dramatically offset by clean white margins, creating a sophisticated contrast that never goes out of style.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExceptional Lineage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Derived from H.
