Re: tricyrtis

Marilyn,
    In my opinion, Tricyrtis 'Golden Gleam' is the best gold foliage
cultivar out there. Others have come through here, but none compare to this
one for the gold color.. that is retained through the bloom season. It is a
late bloomer, and the golden-green leaves will have blooms about the color
of grape kool-aide sitting on top. Bit strong, but you know it is there.
Have only seen it offered wholesale once. You may want to keep an eye out
for it.
