Mine is an offshoot from Sanannie's. Have had it a bit more than a year. The growth rate is amazing and the height of the flower scapes is truly regal. I really like this one.

Large, sport of 'Krossa Regal' that forms a vase shaped mound of creamy margined foliage. Leaves are 11" long by 7" wide with 1/4" to 3/4" wide yellow margin that turns creamy white. The margin is often much wider near the base and toward mid-leaf, narrower near the tip - and can vary from plant to plant. Leaves have a thick underside bloom and have an ovate blade shape with wavy margins, and a smooth texture with thick substance. 12-13 vein pairs.

Medium funnel shaped lavendar flowers late July into mid-August. with scapes from 36" to 60". Sterile pods. Registered by Walters Gardens in 1987.
