Comment |
Wide, dark green margins with bright yellow centers in early
spring. As summer
approaches, centers become chartreuse when grown in heavier
shade or lighter yellow if
grown in more sun |
|
Care |
Seed heads may be removed to improve appearance.
However, the seeds do provide food for birds and may
be left. Cut foliage
to ground after killing frost or in the early spring. |
