Rob's Chilly Willy (9461) [R.Robinson] (07/30/2005)
Double silver-white star/ medium blue overlay, edge. Crown variegated medium green and white, pointed. Miniature.

I highly recommend this cultivar. Beautiful highly variegated foliage with excellent symmetry. Grows effortlessly into a perfect little miniature showplant.
