A hybrid of two seedlings, this
cultivar was registered by
Paul Aden in
1986. It forms a large (24 inches high) mound with leaves that
have a deeply lobed base, are moderately corrugated and wavy.
Lavender flowers bloom in July producing many red colored pods.
According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis
(2009), this cultivar "...rates as an excellent choice for
general landscaping purposes in the shade. It can be used as a
large ground cover, in small groups, or as a specimen plant. It
is, however, difficult to distinguish from 'Christmas
Tree', so grow one or the other."
Seedlings include H. 'King's Black Knight'.
