Its creamy white edges ripple around each leaf, catching the eye even on a quiet garden morning. Hans Hansen registered this cultivar in 2019, and Walters Gardens introduced it through the Proven Winners® Shadowland® program. As the mound spreads, near-white summer flowers bring a softer note above the bold foliage. It makes a lovely anchor where a Canadian shade garden needs a little lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage with movement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Those broad blue leaves do more than fill a space.
