Re[2]: H. Elegans


Unfortunately,  sieboldiana 'Elegans' may be one of the hardest plants to
identify as true, since many nurseries in the late '70s and '80s sold deep
blue sieboldiana seedlings as 'Elegans'. Some do revert to pointed leaves.

     Yes, leaf changes may not appear until maturity, around 4-5 years.

I have 3 'Elagans' planted together. This year 2 look like subject plant,
the other is resembling my 'Bressingham Blue'. These plants
have
been in the same location for 2 years. So I guess you don't need to
feel
alone. My thinking is maybe mine are different plants, and the changes are
showing up with maturity( they are about 5 yrs old)
