Among the most popular perennials for shaded areas, these plants form a sturdy mound of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This selection features thick, heart-shaped blue-green leaves with a widely, irregular yellow-green margin that are cupped with the ability to hold water and heavily veined. Stalks of pale lavender flowers rise above in early to midsummer. Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society.
