Carrie,
H. Permanent Wave" has plain green leaves. They are very rippled, elongated
so that the length is about 8" by about 3". The mound is about 2-3' high and
about 3-4' wide. I have had this for about 5 years and it really took off
this year. It is great to use for pollinating too, if you want rippled
seedlings. I have some very nice crosses from it.
H. 'Lakeside Ripples' is much darker, almost a black/olive green with rippled
margins, but the leaf is broad. It has so much substance, I could almost sit
on it!
The leaves are sort of vase shaped and it gives you an arching impression.
This is also a great pollen plant and I crossed it with H. 'Sum and Substance'
last year and have some nice seedlings.
Write if I can add more. See you.
