Your heart won’t be still when you spy
this electric beacon in the garden from Nori Pope
of Hadspen House Nursery in Castle Cary, England.
3 feet tall, peach-colored stems hold exquisite, brilliant, metallic gold
leaves. Rich rose-pink flowers emerge soon thereafter. One of the most
stunning plants in our spring garden. Usually summer dormant.
