Theos Blue

Post by NWhosta4life »

I divided some of my theos blue clump last fall and this spring one the clumps emerged as a marginally varigated sport. Its really hard to tell its full potential this early in the spring. If it keeps its awesome blue color in the center of the leaf, and it doesnt try to revert back, it should be a real looker. Its about 4 eyes or so. Im not a talented photographer (quite obviously) but you should be able to see it..sorry :roll:

Thanks Charla im keeping my fingers crossed, nope the veins arent yellow..that would be cool though. It probably looks that way b/c it just emerged and the waxy blue hasnt coated the leaf yet..i will try to get a better pic of it later, i realize its tough to see much in my current picture. :roll:

Nice margin, but isn't the leaf supposed to be blue?
