It looked like Lady Godiva when I saw it.

But there are many other white-edged Fortunei types that look like that.

Never bought that one-I was under the impression it was Francee, but someone else said no.

I always thought Francee had a thinner edge (at least mine always does). And it put out wide edge sports Patriot and Minuteman.

How about Zager's White Edge?

I would have said Francee, the width of the white edge can vary form year to year on mine and leaf to leaf.

My first thought, before seeing the comments, was 'Francee'.
